[edit] Early life and career
Born in Brisbane, Queensland, Barrett started modeling at the age of seventeen, through Europe. In 1995 she had her first television appearance as a cast member on MTV's The Real World: London. After the show, she attended the British American Drama Academy in Oxford, England. Her first film role came in 1997 when she starred in Campfire Tales.
Barrett appeared in the September 1998 issue of Maxim magazine, in an article promoting the new fall TV series for the upcoming TV season. Her appearance served to promote her appearance in the NBC primetime soap opera Wind on Water,[1] but the show did not last past the first season.[2]

Barrett was previously engaged to American actor Chris Hardwick, host of MTV's Singled Out. On December 29, 2004 she married American actor Gabriel Macht. The couple had their first child, a baby girl, Satine Anais Geraldine Macht, born on August 20, 2007 in Los Angeles.[3]
Barrett enjoys skydiving, explaining, "It gets scarier the more you do it. After a while, you realize you're flinging yourself out of a perfectly good plane for no apparent reason."[1]
