13 Things You Didn't Know About Friday The 13th Part III
2. Ginny's Nixed Return
Having survived Jason Voorhees' roaring rampage of revenge in Friday the 13th Part 2, there was an intention to bring Amy Steel's Ginny Field back for Part III. That was, until Steel herself turned down that opportunity.
As Steel explains in the fantastic, mammoth Crystal Lake Memories documentary:
"Part III was gonna have me as a trauma patient in a mental hospital, and Jason was going to come and find me. Now his focus of revenge was all on me, and then he started offing all the patients."
Steel notes how this threequel was referred to as "Friday the 13th meets Cuckoo's Nest", as in the Jack Nicholson-starring One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Why did Amy Steel opt against returning to that Ginny role, then? Well, she thought she'd go on to "other things" and wouldn't have time for Friday the 13th Part III. As the actress herself admits, in hindsight she should've accepted that offer to do battle with Jason one more time.
