Keep. A notable star of B movies,[1][2] and one of the featured subjects of the 1998 documentary Some Nudity Required [3][4][5][6][7][8] --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:33, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources found - Passes NACTOR & GNG, IMHO the article needs improving not deleting. –Davey2010 ^{Merry Xmas / Happy New Year} 22:42, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The only in-depth coverage I'm seeing appears to be based on a single interview in a single documentary. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:39, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

From WP:NACTOR: "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." A bunch of those films/t.v. shows in the article are notable, click on the ones that are wikilinks to see.Vrac (talk) 01:42, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've just clicked on them. She had just really small roles (if we can call that 'roles') in a few notable direct-to-tv and direct-to-video films like Casper Meets Wendy, Addams Family Reunion and Beethoven's 5th. --damiens.rf 15:11, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Stuartyeates. Fails NACTOR and WP:GNG. The only reasonably notable film is the anthology Necronomicon, and she's only in one segment. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:55, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable star of B movies, meets WP:NACTOR, multiple main roles particularly in the first half of the 1990s, including several films (eg the Don Wilson's Ring of Fire saga or the slasher film Stripped to Kill II) which do not yet have an article but after a rapid source checking nevertheless appear to be notable. If Variety refers to her as a "B superstar" (see Arxiloxos' link above) there is certainly some merit in considering her notable. Cavarrone 07:50, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I was like, "Who?" But then I realized that I've seen her in a few films. Yeah, I think comparing her to Julie Strain is a bit lopsided, but reliable sources disagree. The Los Angeles Times called her an icon. Arx's links show that the industry itself has taken note of her. She did have a pretty decent career in the early 1990s, and I can verify that these roles were named characters with speaking parts. It's a shame about her later career.
