Kate McNeil
I first saw Kate McNeil in The House on Sorority Row, a pleasing little horror film from 1983. When I saw her next, in George Romero's 1988 simian paranoia flick Monkey Shines, I barely realized it was the same actress (due to what I felt was a significant change in appearance). Sufficiently impressed by her performances in both films, I began to seek out more of McNeil's work and quickly became a confirmed fan.
The bulk of Kate McNeil's career has been in the television realm, with scattered feature film appearances over the years. Look here for more detailed information.
