Judith and her mother had been killed by Judith's father, who had also taken his own life after committing said murders. The part of Holly in "Hider in the House" would go to Judith's co-star in "The Land Before Time", Candace Hutson. Barsi had also previously co-starred with lead actor Gary Busey in the 1986 action film, Eye of the Tiger.
