Adrienne Barbeau.... Went from the TV Show 'Maude' to HoRRoR movies... Adrienne, born in 1945, played Maude's daughter on the TV Show from 1972 - 1978.After the series ended, Barbeau was cast by her then-husband, director John Carpenter, in his 1980 horror film, The Fog. This was her first theatrical film appearance. The film was released on February 1, 1980 and was considered a film success, grossing over $21 million in the United States. This helped established Adrienne as a HoRRoR / Sci-Fi genre film star. She then appeared in a number of early 1980s horror and science fiction films, several of which have now become favorite cult classics, including Escape From New York, Creepshow, and Swamp Thing (a comic book movie based on the DC monster comic). See pic top left for comics adaptation. Although Adrienne had a top selling cheesecake poster of herself in 1978, she had not posed for Playboy or other similiar mags. The Swamp Thing Movie however featured a revealing scene of her wading through the Swamp Thing's swamp. Adrienne played the love interest of Dr. Alec Holland, who would become the Swamp Thing. This would be the first and last comic book based movie that she would star in. For those interested in HoRRoR comic books, including those of the Swamp Thing, we have several hundred in our eBay Featured Store.
