At 19 years old, Debi Sue Voorhees won a "Best Body" award and worked as a waitress at a Playboy Club. She got a BS in Journalism and tried to juggle writing and acting.
"I never thought I was very smart. And, so I thought I better do something with my looks while I could. And while I was Los Angeles, I started taking classes, cause I really couldn't stand the idea of waitressing anymore".
About "Friday the 13th Part V": "I went in for an audition and one of the things that caught their eye on my photo was that I had the same name as Jason". Nowadays, Debi doesn't really get recognized, but, "some freak out when they see my last name. I tell them Jason Voorhees is my husband ... it's a real bitch getting blood stains out of his laundry".
This actress had to film her nude scene and death scene on her first day on the set, and it was a grueling 13 hours. Debi doesn't regret it, however, and is happy to have contributed to the Friday the 13th series.
