Adrienne Barbeau, a well-known face in the world of horror, first gained recognition for her role as DJ Stevie in the cult classic film The Fog. Throughout the 1980s, she starred in numerous genre films, including Swamp Thing and Escape From New York, solidifying her status as a horror icon. However, it was her collaboration with director John Carpenter that truly cemented her place in the hearts of horror fans.
Before her breakout role in The Fog, Adrienne had already made a name for herself on Broadway. However, it wasn't until she landed the role of Maude's daughter on the popular sitcom that she gained widespread recognition. It was on the set of Carpenter's TV movie Someone's Watching Me! in 1978 that she met the master of horror himself, and the two were married a year later.
Aside from her impressive horror resume, Adrienne also showed her versatility as an actor by appearing in the madcap action comedy The Cannonball Run and lending her voice to the iconic character of Catwoman in Batman: The Animated Series. Even decades later, with her signature dark brown curls still intact, she effortlessly exudes the vibes of the 1980s.
Recently, Adrienne was spotted out and about in Los Angeles, enjoying lunch with friends and looking as stylish as ever in a grey patterned cardigan, denim jeans, and bold ruby red cowboy boots. She completed her look with a pair of thick-rimmed glasses and a tan toe bag, carrying a maroon piece of luggage. Later, she was seen at a local Chinese restaurant, savoring a delicious dinner with her companions.
Adrienne's impressive career began in the 1960s, when she made her Broadway debut in Fiddler on the Roof. She was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance as Rizzo in Grease, and her career has been going strong ever since. Even now, five decades later, she remains busy with roles in television, movies, and video games.
Known as one of the most recognizable faces in cult cinema, Adrienne has appeared in a variety of works, including Creepshow, Dexter, Tales of Halloween, and American Horror Stories. Her work with Carpenter, both as an actor and a voice artist, has solidified her status as a horror icon. She even made a voice cameo in Carpenter's The Thing, voicing the computer, and had a deleted scene in Rob Zombie's 2007 remake of Halloween.
In addition to her acting career, Adrienne is also a successful author. She published a memoir in 2017, titled There Are Worse Things I Could Do, and has written a series of supernatural novels. Currently, she has two horror films in post-production, The Demon Detective and The Pitch-Fork, the latter of which also features the late horror legend Tony Todd.
Although her marriage to Carpenter ended in 1984 after the birth of their son, John 'Cody' Carpenter, Adrienne found love again in 1992 when she married playwright and actor Billy Van Zandt. The couple had twin boys together before filing for divorce in 2018.
With such a vast and impressive career, it's no wonder Adrienne continues to be a beloved figure in the world of horror. Whether it's through her acting, writing, or simply being spotted out and about, she remains an iconic and influential presence in the industry.
