It is always sad whenever an icon of ours goes, so I was especially saddened by the passing, on May 29, of Betsy Palmer. I had known her for years as a reliable working actress, but she earned, icon status, albeit unpredictably, for her signature turn as Mrs. Voorhees as the original "Friday The 13th," back in 1980.
Betsy was always candid about the film, but came to embrace it, and her iconic status. Not since Lana Turner has a sweater been such a fashion emblem. And who can forget her immortal delivery of that line, "I"M not afraid?????????"
Your legacy will live on Betsy, as long as "Friday The 13th" is viewed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Kill her, Mommy! Kill her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
