I was rather pleased to get the chance to meet Amanda Wyss at the Chiller Theatre show in Parsippany, New Jersey, on April 30, 2011. Afterall, she’d been somewhat of a staple in a smattering of 80’s films – among them Prom Night, Nightmare on Elm Street, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Better Off Dead. She was the first-ever victim of Freddy Krueger, the girl who breaks up with Judge Reinhold, and the vixen who broke the heart of John Cusack. She even had a two-time recurring role on Cheers as Beth Curtis, Woody’s old girlfriend from his hometown of Indiana.
And even though she was ten years my senior, she was quite attractive, and pleasantly flirty. No sir, I had no qualms about getting in a photo with her… and it was free!
This had been the first autograph show that she had ever done, and I suggested that she not make herself a stranger, even though she does stay busy in the acting arena.
