#HappyBirthday to #DeeWallace, the versatile American actress and author, born Deanna Bowers, in Kansas City #OnThisDay in 1948. An ill-fated new mother in Wes Craven's #TheHillsHaveEyes ('77), she rose to fame as a succession of resilient mums in 80s genre fare, notably #ETTheExtraTerrestrial ('82) and #Cujo ('83), but other standouts in a prolific 48 year screen career include as the anchorwoman transforming into a werewolf on air in #TheHowling ('81) and the matriarch of Red Christmas (2016).
@Cinemacabre Wallace's appearance on the Kingcast was really very good. Hearing behind-the-scenes stories about the making of Cujo (which I hadn't yet seen). She had a really amazing run of genre films there in the 80s.
Skimming back on IMDB I see she was in The Stepford Wives! What a career.
