Brinke Stevens

Married to comic book artist Dave Stevens for only six months, but following their divorce she kept his surname. The two remained friends until his death in 2008.

About Teenage Exorcist (1991), a movie she co-wrote and starred in: "I go from a demure co-ed to a whip-cracking dominatrix from hell. There are savage, scale-eyed zombies, virgin sacrifices and demonic possessions and, when I turn into a gorgeous, va-voom woman, I say the line I've always wanted to say, 'Behold the new queen of hell!" And I say it with relish".
