Barbara Kelly began her career in radio with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Her first part was as the Virgin Mary in the "York and Chester Mystery Plays" when she was just 16 years old. By the time she was 17 she had married actor Bernard Braden, and by the time she was 24 they had moved to England. Their 3 children followed a few months later. After auditioning for the BBC they were offered a radio series. All broadcasting in those days was live, including, at first, television broadcasting. Barbara took part in many live broadcasts at a time when Television plays ran as long as 90-minutes and went straight from rehearsal to air. She later appeared on a number of shows including the BBC version of What's My Line, Kelly's Eye and The Braden Beat. Her first stage appearance in England was as Peter Pan at the Scala.
