Barbizon NYC, New York

Since its founding in 1939, Barbizon has been getting camera-addicted women, men, and kids used to hearing the phrase "lights, camera, action!" without melting into a big puddle of nerves, intimidation, or just plain ole' disbelief. Today, the agency continues this mission of preparing young and fresh talent for a potential life in front of the lens, hosting workshops and programs designed to cover the ins and outs of modeling, acting, singing, and even dancing. Recent graduates include Disney Channel's Nina Lu, Lyndsy Fonseca of CW's "Nikita", and E!News host Giuliana Rancic.
