Dee Wallace(II)
- Actress
- Producer
- Additional Crew
This attractive, happy go lucky blonde actress, educated at the
University of Kansas and a former ballet soloist, first broke into both
TV and cinema screens in the mid 1970s and through her appearances in
several well remembered horror and sci-fi films, and Dee quickly gained
a cult following among the fantasy film fans. Poor Dee always seemed
to be on the wrong side of some malevolent person or evil
creature....she was pursued by a clan of cannibal killers in
The Hills Have Eyes (1977),
terrorized by a pack of werewolves in the superb
The Howling (1981), got a break
from the horror, as a sympathetic mom in the mega sci-fi hit
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982),
and nearly ends up lunch for a rabid St. Bernard in the heart stopping
Cujo (1983).
In the early 1980s, Wallace-Stone actually shared the screen several times with her then husband Christopher Stone before his unfortunate, early demise from a heart attack in October, 1995.
However, typecasting Dee Wallace-Stone as a horror heroine does not do her justice, as unlike some other scream queens whose careers quickly faded, Dee has gone on to have a very busy and varied acting career, appearing in over 90 feature films to date! Her All-American looks and easy going demeanor has seen Dee often cast as a typical suburban mother, a sympathetic friend, or a trusted ally. Fans warm to her endearing smile and natural warmth, and Dee continues to find herself in constant demand in front of the camera, plus she has her own much visited website.
