Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Steph was born in the very small town of Alliance, Ohio. She had a very unusual childhood. Well, maybe to some. She was always fascinated with horror. She was watching horror films at age four, both classic and new at the time. So growing up, she loved the B-movie/horror genre. Steph had always dreamed of becoming an actress and doing horror films. But being in Ohio there never seemed to be a chance of that happening. So she decided to become a Veterinarian. At the age of fourteen, in 1986, she moved to California! This is where she started to make her dream of becoming an actress a reality and started to do something about it. Steph attended high school in Oxnard, was in the "Who's Who of American High School Students" for two years in a row, and graduated with high honors. In high school, she began to take drama classes and in college, she majored in Dramatic Arts. After graduation, she took some professional classes to perfect her craft. She did the whole bit...cold reading, scene study, etc. However, she soon began to realize that until she would move to Los Angeles, things were just not going to happen! So in 1992, Steph moved to LA. She then studied many different techniques with several different coaches, and in 1995, she landed her first role in a film titled Unnaturally Born Killers (1996). She played the part of Jennifer Cartwright and it was there that her status began as a "Scream Queen". From 1995 to 1996, she worked in some music videos, including Joykiller's Go Bang and Prime Evil's Ghastly Beast. After that, she returned to films such as Teen Witches and Monopoly. Steph also did two NBC movies, Shattered Mind (1996) starring Heather Locklear and Through The Looking Glass. When not working on movies, she worked in some commercials. The end of 1996 to the present has been her busiest time ever! She filmed _Witchcraft IX: Bitter Flesh (1996)_ in which she played Detective Lutz. She also shot a video for Penthouse magazine entitled The Penthouse Variety Show. In the fall, she began shooting Zombie Gang Bangers (1997). In 1997, she did a film for Showtime titled A Mid Cyber's Night Dream where she played a Swedish maid. Even though this film and the films for NBC and the music videos took her away from the Scream Queen title, she was brought back through 'Witchcraft' and 'Zombie Ninja' and othere to follow. In the late summer of 1997, Steph flew to Minneapolis to shoot three films for Nightmare Productions. They were Twilight (1998)_, Tales from the Cannibal Side (1998) and a cameo in Dying to Meet You (1997). Then, in October, she flew to London to reprise her role as Detective Lutz in Witchcraft X: Mistress of the Craft (1998). In October of 1998, she played a female Terminator in _Passion to Kill, A (1999)_. In February of the following year, she flew to the windy city, Chicago, to shoot Headcrusher (1999) and back to Los Angeles where she filmed Eyes of the Werewolf (1999), which was in 3-D. In May, she was back once again as Detective Lutz in Witchcraft XI: Sisters in Blood (2000). In August, Steph filmed _V-World Matrix (1999)_, yet another 3-D film. In October, she flew to Oregon to shoot The Evilmaker (2000). She also began writing a monthly column for a magazine titled, "Autograph News Magazine". Steph wrote articles on several directors, producers, and actors as well as her Q&A column. She now produces and directs her own films. All types from low budget "B" films to "A" list productions. Her first film she is producing is The Bagman (2002). In October of 2000, she was the lead in A Passion (2001) for USA Network. 2001 has been a very busy year for Steph. In March, she flew up to Oakland, California, to shoot the science fiction comedy, Bikini Planet (2002).

[making horror movies] I always wanted to do horror films! I loved them growing up and when I auditioned for my first horror film in 1995 and landed the role it seemed like it just fell into place and one horror film came after another.

[her favorite roles] I would say the Witchcraft series. I know they were really cheesy but it was fun playing a detective. Plus working with my friend Mikul Robins was great and again, I got to work with Ron Ford in Witchcraft 11! In Witchcraft 10, I got to go to London.

[her biggest challenge working in the horror industry] Getting paid good money for the roles I acted in. That, and actually getting paid without the checks bouncing at the end of the shoot. It really sucks to hear &quot;I&#39;m sorry I don&#39;t have the rest of the money to pay you.&quot;
