After her debut as Mindy in the classic comedy romp Porky's (1981), girl-next-door Jill Whitlow went on to earn credits in some of the ‘80s biggest hits, on both the silver screen and on television. Acting since the age of three in commercials, the brunette beauty popped up in hit primetime TV shows like T.J. Hooker in 1984, Gimme a Break! and Airwolf in 1985, Silver Spoons in 1986, Growing Pains in 1987, and a handful of not-hits. Jill was also a regular on Adventures Beyond Belief as Tena Tidy in 1988, and Lorraine in Tribes in 1990. On the big screen, she was Anne Marie in Mask (1985) with Cher and Eric Stoltz, and a perfume salesgirl in Weird Science (1985) with Anthony Michael Hall and Kelly LeBrock, before she started on her trademark genre of thriller and horror, as Kim in Thunder Run (1985). In 1986, she played sweet and plucky Cynthia in Night of the Creeps (1986) with Jason Lively (half brother of Blake), and flashed her pert and perky tiny twosome while slipping into a nightie. She reunited with Mr. Lively in Ghost Chase (1987), playing Laurie Sanders, then took a scarier turn as Robin Cates/Myrna in Twice Dead (1988). Jill retired from acting after 1990, only popping up in the series Swamp Thing in 1992, and in the series Detective Extralarge in 1993. But, much like Carrie’s hand emerged one last time, so too did Jill emerge to give one more scare, as Jen in the horror flick Naked Cannibal Campers (2020). Boo!
