“She was everything at once. She was my first love. My best friend at times and my sworn adversary at others. She was the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen and she was wicked and fun and light and dark and she possessed the kind of magic that you truly just don’t see,” she wrote. “I’m terrified of the world without her (how drab!) but so excited for wherever she’s heading next.

Romy Walthall, an actor known for her roles in “Face/Off” and “The House of Usher,” died on May 19 in Los Angeles after experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. She was 57.

Walthall’s son, actor and director Morgan Krantz, confirmed her death to Variety.

Born on Sept. 16, 1963 in Pasadena, Texas, Walthall got her start in the entertainment industry by winning the Mother/Daughter USA pageant in 1980. At age 17, Walthall was signed to Ford Models and began modeling in Europe. She eventually moved back to Los Angeles and dipped her toes into the acting world, sometimes going by her stage name, Romy Windsor.

She landed her first major role in Jerry Bruckheimer’s 1984 thriller “Thief of Hearts,” and played Bobbi in 1985’s “A Bunny’s Tale,” which was based on Gloria Steinem’s investigation of Playboy Bunnies’ working conditions. Walthall also starred in the cult horror films “Howling IV: The Original Nightmare” in 1988 and...

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ll come right out and tell you that I’ve always been rather fond of the Howling franchise. From werewolf orgies to carnival freaks, there’s always been something for me to enjoy concerning the unlikely number of Roman numerals that followed Joe Dante’s classic.

Some of you might be thinking that a bad movie in this canon isn't all that uncommon, but prior to 1995 the Howling sequels at least came equipped with a budget (usually a very small one), featured actors (at times, some very bad ones) and offered some entertainment value. Of course, New Moon Rising was the game changer, alienating its core audience’s expectations (me) of blood and nudity (and perhaps a laugh or two) in favor of a pseudo country/western documentary approach. Oh, there’s a werewolf running around somewhere in here, too, but we only hear about it.
