Born in [[Occupation of Czechoslovakia (1938–1945)|German-occupied Czechoslovakia]], Bouchet's family emigrated to the United States after the [[Second World War]]. She began her acting career in the '60s, appearing in small roles in films such as ''[[In Harm's Way]]'' and guest parts on television series such as ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' and ''[[The Virginian (TV series)|The Virginian]]''. She had more prominent film roles in ''[[Casino Royale (1967 film)|Casino Royale]]'' (1967), in which she played [[Miss Moneypenny]],<ref name="80yo" /> and ''[[Sweet Charity (film)|Sweet Charity]]'' (1969).
Bouchet moved to Italy in the 1970s, becoming an Italian citizen and starring in a large number of genre films, including thrillers (''[[gialli]]''), crime films (''[[poliziotteschi]]''), and sex comedies (''[[commedia sexy all'italiana]]'').<ref name=80yo/> Her best known appearances in Italian cinema include the films ''[[Don't Torture a Duckling]]'' (1972), ''[[The Red Queen Kills Seven Times]]'' (1972) and ''[[Caliber 9]]'' (1972).
Bouchet effectively retired from acting in the early 1980s, transitioning to a career producing fitness videos and books and opening a gym in Rome. She has since made some further appearances acting in film and television, including a small role in [[Martin Scorsese]]'s ''[[Gangs of New York]]'' (2002).

Bärbel Gutscher was born in [[Liberec|Reichenberg]], [[Sudetenland]], in [[Nazi Germany|Nazi]]-occupied [[Czechoslovakia]] (today [[Liberec]] in the [[Czech Republic]]). She had four siblings.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4VJCaXXANA0C&q=barbara+bouchet+b%C3%A4rbel&pg=PA79|title=Film Fatales: Women in Espionage Films and Television, 1962-1973|first1=Tom|last1=Lisanti|first2=Louis|last2=Paul|date=April 10, 2002|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9780786411948|via=Google Books}}</ref> Her father, Fritz, was a photographer, and her mother, Ingrid, was an actress.<ref name=80yo/>
After [[World War II]], her family was placed in a [[Refugee camp|resettlement camp]] in the [[History of Germany (1945-1990)#Four occupation zones|American occupation zone]] in Germany. They were granted permission to emigrate to the United States under the [[humanitarianism|humanitarian]] provisions of the [[Displaced Persons Act of 1948]].<ref>De Zayas, Alfred Maurice. ''A Terrible Revenge'', Palgrave Macmillan, 2nd edition (2006); {{ISBN|1-4039-7308-3}}.<!--page(s) needed--></ref>
After arriving in the United States, the family lived in [[Five Points, California]] on the west side of the Central Valley and eventually settled in [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]], where Gutscher was raised. During the early 1960s San Francisco Bay Area television station [[KPIX-TV]] ran a show named ''[[KPIX Dance Party|The KPIX Dance Party]]'' and offered Gutscher the opportunity to become a member of the show's dance group.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.kpixdanceparty.org/index.html | title = KPIX Dance Party | access-date = 16 July 2007 | author = Interiano, Manny | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070605151132/http://www.kpixdanceparty.org/index.html | archive-date = 5 June 2007|url-status=live}}</ref>

Bouchet began her career modelling for magazine covers and appearing in television commercials, before eventually becoming an actress. Her first acting role was a minor part in ''[[What a Way to Go!]]'' (1964), which led to a series of other roles in the 1960s. She appeared in the films ''[[John Goldfarb, Please Come Home]]'' (1964), ''[[In Harm's Way]]'' (1964), and ''[[Agent for H.A.R.M.]]'' (1966).
She appeared, semi-nude, in two editions of ''[[Playboy]]'' magazine: May 1965 (stills from ''[[In Harm's Way]]'') and February 1967 ("The Girls of ''[[Casino Royale (1967 film)|Casino Royale]]''").<ref>[http://www.vintageplayboymags.co.uk/60s/Feb/07.htm "Playboy Magazine February 1967 vol.14, no.2"].

In ''[[Casino Royale (1967 film)|Casino Royale]]'' (1967), Bouchet played the role of [[Miss Moneypenny]]. She guest-starred in the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' episode "[[By Any Other Name]]" (1968) as Kelinda, and appeared in the musical film ''[[Sweet Charity (film)|Sweet Charity]]'' (1969) playing Ursula.
Bouchet began acting in Italian films, such as ''[[Black Belly of the Tarantula]]'', ''[[Amuck!]]'', ''[[The Man with Icy Eyes]]'', ''[[The French Sex Murders]]'', ''[[The Red Queen Kills Seven Times]]'', ''[[Don't Torture a Duckling]]'' and ''[[Sex with a Smile]]''.
She starred with [[Gregory Peck]] in ''[[The Scarlet and The Black]]'' (1983). In 1985, she established a production company and started to produce a series of fitness books and videos. In addition, Bouchet opened a fitness studio in Rome. In 2002, Bouchet appeared in ''[[Gangs of New York]]'', playing Mrs. Schermerhorn.
==Personal life==
In 1974, Bouchet married Luigi Borghese, a producer, with whom she has two sons: [[Alessandro Borghese|Alessandro]], a TV chef, and Massimiliano, a bartender. Her husband subsequently produced some of her later films.
