Sunny, lovely, and appealing brunette actress Jill Whitlow was born on November 11,
1963. Whitlow started acting in TV commercials at age three. Jill made
her film debut with a small role as high school student Mindy in the
outrageously raunchy comedy smash
Porky's (1981). Whitlow also had minor
parts in the movies
Weird Science (1985) and
Mask (1985). Jill achieved her greatest
enduring cult cinema popularity with her winningly spunky and spirited
portrayal of the perky'n'plucky Cynthia
'Cindy' Cronenberg in Fred Dekker's
delightful tongue-in-cheek B-horror zombie splatter pastiche
Night of the Creeps (1986).
She was likewise memorable as the fetching Robin in the enjoyable
Twice Dead (1988) and the sweet Laurie
in the silly
Ghost Chase (1987) (Jill
was reunited with her
Night of the Creeps (1986)
co-star Jason Lively in this latter
picture). Whitlow had a regular role as Tena Tidy on the TV series
Adventures Beyond Belief (1988).
She made guest appearances on episodes of the TV shows
T.J. Hooker (1982),
Gimme a Break! (1981),
Silver Spoons (1982),
Otherworld (1985),
Airwolf (1984),
Freddy's Nightmares (1988),
Baby Boom (1988),
Tribes (1990), and
Swamp Thing (1990). Aside from
her film and TV credits, Jill also did a TV commercial for Diet Coke
and was prominently featured in the music video for "Hungry" by the
1980s hair metal band Winger. Alas, Whitlow
decided to call it a day as an actress in the 1990s. She's the mother
of two children. Engaged to Actor/Producer Jason Loughridge.
