Beyond acting, Barrie wrote books about her experiences with cancer, helping others feel less alone while facing difficult health challenges. She also spoke openly about living with pulmonary fibrosis, a condition she was diagnosed with in 2014. She leaves behind her children, Jane and Aaron Harnick, and three granddaughters. Her remarkable career leaves behind a lasting reminder that the impact of a great performer extends far beyond the roles they play.
