Ann Barnes - Biography
Ann Barnes (June 17, 1945 – September 13, 2005) was an actress and pop singer, best known for appearing as Cookie Bumstead on the short-lived television series Blondie (1957), based on the popular Chic Young comic strip.
When Blondie was cancelled after 28 episodes, Ann found part-time work as a bit player in other television series, with Leave it to Beaver and My Three Sons being two of the series in which the actress has been positively identified. Several other performances remain unverified.
Barnes eventually returned to her birth town of Lansing, Michigan, to retire. She died on September 13, 2005. According to Petersen, the body of this forgotten, exploited talent was not discovered for almost a week.
In 2005, Petersen wrote a loving tribute to his colleague and friend on his website devoted to advocacy for former and current child performers, A Minor Consideration. Entitled "When Sparrows Fall," Petersen recounts the tragic lives and obscure deaths of two underappreciated child actors, Ann Barnes and Tommy Bond.
