13 Things You Didn't Know About Friday The 13th Part 2
1. The Final Victim
Time hasn't been kind to the actor playing wild teenager Sandra, Marta Kober. Constant rumours of drug use and/or mental health issues seem to be borne out by reports of people who've met her at conventions of an incoherent mess, aged far beyond her years, telling stories with no bearing on reality.
Still more rumours abound that she may be homeless. There's more than one report of her being arrested for reckless driving, hit and run incidents, failure to appear in court and criminal trespass - some as recently as last year. Her mugshots look like a woman twenty years older.
One of her wild stories is true, however: she was a minor when she filmed Friday The 13th Part 2. The date of birth listed on her court filings is 23rd October 1963, meaning that she had her seventeenth birthday during the October to November 1980 shoot.
This ties in with yet another rumour: that originally, the sex scene between Sandra and Jeff was longer and included full frontal nudity, but was cut when Paramount heard - probably when she celebrated her birthday on set - that Kober was underage.
A far less substantiated rumour has it that Kober called a friend after completing her work on the film, in tears, begging for a ride home, causing speculation that something might have happened to the unaccompanied underage girl on location, far from home...
Whatever the case, let’s hope she gets some control back in her life before she becomes another sad tabloid statistic.
