20 Things You Somehow Missed In Friday The 13th (1980)

20. Alice "Laurie Strode" Hardy

There is no mistaking that Friday the 13th was both inspired by and rode the success of Halloween, being one of the few films to successfully do so.

When the film became a financial (if not a critical) hit, a sequel became inevitable. Initially, Adrienne King's "final girl", Alice Hardy was to have led the franchise, not unlike Jamie Lee Curtis's Laurie Strode in Halloween. Unfortunately, these plans were scuppered when King was stalked by an aggressive Friday the 13th fan and asked that her character be written out.

Fortunately rebounding from her real-life experience, Adrienne King focused on smaller film roles, voice, and stunt work. Alongside this, she focused on painting and producing her own wines named after Crystal Lake. She also frequently contributes to Friday the 13th fan conventions.
