Comely, busty and sexy brunette stunner Sandy Johnson was born on July 7, 1954 in San Antonio, Texas. She grew up there and has four older sisters. Moreover, Johnson attended Santa Monica Community College, then proceeded to obtain her Master's degree and Ph.D degree in Texas. Sandy was the Playmate of the Month in the June 1974 issue of Playboy magazine. Johnson made a regrettably brief foray into film acting in the wake of her Playboy pictorial. Sandy achieved her greatest enduring cult cinema popularity as Michael Myers' doomed sister Judith Myers who gets brutally murdered by her crazed younger brother during the startling opening sequence of John Carpenter's outstanding seasonal slasher horror classic Halloween (1978). Johnson had more substantial supporting roles in the amusing lowbrow drive-in comedy romps Jokes My Folks Never Told Me (1978), H.O.T.S. (1979) and Gas Pump Girls (1979). Sandy Johnson's last movie role to date was Halloween (2018). The archival footage was used in the graveyard flashback scene.- Director
