This was followed by "Pups," a modern-day version of "Bonnie and Clyde," for filmmaker Ash ("Bang"). She then added key roles in the 1999 blockbusters "The Sixth Sense," with Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment, and "Notting Hill," with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. Barton subsequently completed work on an additional five features, including "Lost and Delirious," opposite Piper Perabo, and "Julie Johnson," with Courtney Love and Lili Taylor--both of which premiered at Sundance. Barton can also be seen in "Skipped Parts," with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Drew Barrymore; "Tart," with Melanie Griffith and Dominique Swain; and "Paranoid," with Jessica Alba. Barton began her promising career in New York theatre at age 9 with a lead role in Tony Kushner's "Slavs!" She soon segued into the lead role in James Lapine's "Twelve Dreams" at Lincoln Center. Among her other varied stage credits are "Where the Truth Lies" and "One Flea Spare," both of which were presented at the New York Shakespeare Festival. Barton was featured for three seasons on the daytime drama "All My Children." She also portrayed the title role of Frankie alongside Joan Plowright in the Showtime film "Frankie and Hazel." Barton shot on location in Australia for the telefilm "A Ring of Endless Light" and immediately followed with an eight-episode arc on "Once and Again." A longtime Manhattan resident, Barton enjoys family life with her parents and two sisters.
