Jenny Wright quit acting in the 1990s. She was best known for playing the female lead in Katherine Bigelow's Near Dark (1987). In the mid-2000s images of her and a team of people trying to save farmland appeared on social media. They needed money for a new tractor (if memory serves) and were asking for donations. Jenny Wright did a few ironic hollywood-style poses (in dirty work clothing) for the camera to get people to donate.

According to IMDb she now makes appearences at horror conventions.

I will always remember her in I Madman.
