Barbara Marie Nickerauer (December 10, 1928 – October 5, 1976), better known as Barbara Nichols, was an American actress who often played brassy or comic roles in films in the 1950s and 1960s.
Nichols was a popular model in cheesecake magazines of the era and was considered a minor rival to Marilyn Monroe. Unlike the others, she rarely starred in films, but had showy supporting roles in A-films starring such actors as Clark Gable, Susan Hayward, Sophia Loren, and Doris Day. One of her few starring roles was in the 1965 science fiction film The Human Duplicators.
Nichols died on October 5, 1976, aged 47, from liver failure due to complications of a damaged spleen and liver reportedly sustained in an automobile accident many years earlier. She was survived by her parents. She is interred at Pinelawn Memorial Park in Farmingdale, New York.
