[quote]Actress Betsy Palmer, who kicked off her career as a sweet-talking panelist on TV game shows in the 1950s and went on to play a mother-turned-murderer in "Friday the 13th," has died.
Palmer, 88, died Friday of natural causes at a hospice care center near her home in Danbury, Connecticut, manager Brad Lemack said in a statement.[/quote]

A real shame.
And now Jason is going to stalk down Death itself for killing his mam.
Looking at her IMDB page, she worked steadily until she last did something in 1972 before Friday the 13th was made in 1980. Then she worked steadily after that. I wonder what that 8 year gap is about?
She probably couldn't find work doing what she used to do and tried something radically different with FT13?
I loved her in Friday the 13th. She played a really good killer and made the series more grounded before Jason started rising from the grave in the rest of the films.

That's the best idea I've ever heard.
New Line, get to it.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;47867975]Didn't she just do Friday the 13th because she needed a car at the time? I know she thinks the movie is a piece of shit.[/QUOTE]
Apparently the movies grew on her later.
