[Getting the role of Pamela Voorhees in Friday the 13th (1980)] My agent called and said “How’d you like to do a movie?” Great! I had not done a movie in years, California? No, it’s going to be shot in New Jersey, and it’s ten days work, [I’ll] make $1,000 a day. But there’s a catch: It’s a horror film. I said “Oh no! It’s bad enough I’m known as a game show player on I’ve Got a Secret (1952). I said “Send me the script.” He sent it to me, I read it, and I said “What a piece of shit!” No one’s ever going to see this thing! It will come, it will go, that’s the end of it. I called him, and said “I’ll do it.” And that’s my part of story.
