Dara Jensen on the ABC Television Network's "General Hospital"
From the boards of Broadway to the halls of justice, actress Vanita Harbour finds that much of life is indeed "theater." Portraying District Attorney Dara Jensen presents an opportunity for Ms. Harbour to access the many skills of her professional craft. Her first airdate was March 28, 1996. "Dara is an ambitious, quick-witted woman. Sometimes too," details Ms. Harbour, "she thrives on competition and fiercely follows her dreams."
Ms. Harbour has long followed her dreams. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Vanita knew early on that a performing career was her choice. She attended the Cleveland School of the Arts, studying drama and dance. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and moved immediately to New York City.
Television audiences became familiar with Ms. Harbour in August, 1990, when she joined the cast of "One Life to Live" as Rika Price. She remained with the series through August, 1991, during which time she fell in love with her co-star, Allan Dean Moore. The couple married in 1993.
Concurrent with her role on the ABC daytime drama, Vanita was seen on Broadway in the rousing musical, "Once on This Island." She remained with the musical production after her departure from "One Life to Live" and took to the road with the national tour. Her other theatrical credits include the lead in "Nomathemba" at the Steppenwolf Playhouse and "Blues in the Night" at the Pasadena Playhouse and the Arizona Theatre Company, among others.
Ms. Harbour's television credits include appearances on "Dream On," "Living Single," "Muddling Through" and "Days of Our Lives."
