Jewel Shepard

[Rev. Powell]

Liked her well enough, but she was never really one of my favorite scream queens. Still, when I saw her on Facebook I had to visit her page, then her blog. She's a writer now and her "about" page is funny and worth reading as she remembers her days in the T&A biz. Sample:

"It was time to get away from working conditions such as the time she was shipped off to the Philippines for what the casting director assured her would be 'a vacation in paradise.'  (It was a Roger Corman epic, Caged Heat 2, and she was thrown in prison, flogged, beaten up by a band of orange-clad warrior women and practically devoured by bugs the size of Buicks)  It was time to get away from films where they’d tell her, 'There will be brief nudity.'  (In Christina, 'brief' turned out to mean about 88 out of 90 minutes, including one nude scene shot on location in front of the Eiffel Tower in near-zero degree weather.)  It was time to get away from doing your own stunts, eating Spam on a meal break, producers who insist that a separate hotel room is not in the budget and you must share theirs, ice-cold sets, colder dialogue and film companies that are so under funded, they can’t afford a Casting Couch and expect you to put out on a folding chair."

even her name sounds like a bad movie

Who?

[RCMerchant]

The only movie I remember her from is RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.

[Dr. Whom]

Well, if your first credited part is 'Drunk Sexpot', not exactly easy to break it to the parents, I would guess.

The only movie I remember her from is RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.

I tried looking her up and nothing stuck out to me except that.  Even there she just felt like her role was just "one of those other people".

[BoyScoutKevin]

I certainly don't remember her in it, but, I did see one of her films My Tutor.
