Amy Steel

Was going to star in the third installment of the Friday the 13th series reprising her role as "Ginny" from Friday the 13th - Part II (1981) but her agent at the time told her not to sign on as she was getting "bigger and better roles" but has since said; that she wishes that she had accepted the opportunity to reprise her role in part 3.
Her character on Friday the 13th - Part II (1981) (Ginny) was supposed to be killed by Jason, but the producers later decided during filming that they needed to have someone survive.
Serves as a marriage and family therapist intern at InBalance in the Santa Monica Mountains. She also has a private practice in Calabasas, specializing in adolescent and mid-life transitions.
She returned to Kent, CT to film Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) which was the same town where she attended high school. She said it was awkward returning to her hometown, as she felt she hadn't left on good terms.
When she first moved to New York to pursue a career in modeling, she lived in a one-bedroom apartment on 63rd and Lexington with 5 other girls, where she slept on a couch. She was surprised when she became a successful model, because she was a tomboy who knew nothing about makeup or how dress like a girl was expected to dress.

[recalling her audition for and feelings towards Friday the 13th - Part II (1981)] I had to show up at the audition and pretend I was walking through the woods, screaming. And it was total typecasting--the outdoorsy, strong girl with blonde hair. And when I got it, it was great. It's nice to be wanted in any capacity, and "Friday the 13th" was cool. I just said, "It's sequel time!"
