Biography

Dee Wallace-Stone is a talented and versatile actress who has made a lasting impact in the entertainment industry. Born with a radiant blonde hair and a sunny disposition, she was educated at the University of Kansas and had a successful career as a ballet soloist before transitioning to acting.

Her breakthrough in the mid-1970s led to a string of memorable performances in horror and science fiction films, earning her a devoted cult following among fantasy film enthusiasts. Throughout her career, Dee has consistently played characters who find themselves in precarious situations, often pursued by malevolent forces or monstrous creatures.

In 1977, she starred in the chilling "The Hills Have Eyes," where she was stalked by a clan of cannibal killers. In 1981, she was terrorized by a pack of werewolves in the critically acclaimed "The Howling." She then took a break from horror to play a sympathetic mother in the beloved sci-fi classic "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982).

Dee's versatility as an actress is exemplified by her roles in a wide range of films, including the heart-stopping "Cujo" (1983),where she nearly becomes lunch for a rabid St. Bernard.

In the early 1980s, Dee shared the screen with her then-husband Christopher Stone, with whom she had a romantic relationship. Unfortunately, Christopher passed away in 1995 due to a heart attack.

Despite being typecast as a horror heroine, Dee Wallace-Stone has defied expectations by maintaining a busy and varied acting career, with over 90 feature films to her credit. Her All-American looks and easygoing demeanor have made her a sought-after actress, often cast as a typical suburban mother, a sympathetic friend, or a trusted ally.

Fans adore Dee's endearing smile and natural warmth, which have made her a constant demand in front of the camera. She also has her own popular website, which is a testament to her enduring popularity and dedication to her craft.
