She was great in Fri the 13th.
And the film was not cheesy in 1980. The author is a jackass.

She was in TV version of’ ‘Marty,’ which was live. Her part was small but she did it well. A Polish (?) girl from Chicago.

Wikipedia says her father was Czechoslakian ... which means he could have been a Czech or a Slovak, since “Hrunek” isn’t a German name.

She was on every 50’s and 60’s game show. Didn’t have any idea she was in any movie.

Reason Betsy said took role was that her car died and were offering her $10,000 for part
New Mercedes cost $9999..........

Yes I recall she stated the reason she took the part in Friday the 13th. That role everyone will remember her by.
