I met Linnea Quigley in New York City
Submitted by Andrew Shearer on Wed, 07/01/2009 - 10:20pm.There are several reasons why I didn’t turn in a Cinema File column this week - I couldn’t bring myself to watch “Transformers 2”, the film I did end up seeing (“The Hangover”) made “Dude, Where’s My Car?” look like “Crimes Of The Heart”, I haven’t taken a week off in the three months I’ve been writing for the Banner-Herald – but those are really just excuses. The honest truth is that I haven’t been able to think about much else since meeting Linnea Quigley at a film festival last weekend in New York City. And though she may not be a name in your household, a true horror movie fan’s heart should have skipped a beat reading that last sentence. From the late ‘70s on through the present day, she has starred in over 100 movies, two of which (“Return Of The Living Dead” and “Night Of The Demons”) are in my personal top ten list of all time. I'll freely admit I had a poster of her in my school locker when I was in seventh grade, okay?
