Quotes

  • [on her role in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)] My best scene in the entire film was cut out. It was where I find my mother and she's dead. The producer and director [Joe Zito] decided that the scene was too offensive.
  • [her view on the Friday the 13th series, in which she appeared in the fourth installment] I had never seen any of the Friday films. And I didn't want to see any of them. I still have never seen any of them. I just don't like that kind of genre at all. And this was not even a B-movie, it was really just a C-movie.
