Whatever Happened To Sarah Holcomb?


She was smokin' hot and very talented. I only remember her from Animal House and Caddyshack, but she seemed to have a promising career ahead of her.

I think she died a few years after Caddyshack. May have been drug related.
Harold Ramis or someone mentioned this in an anniversary special on Caddyshack.

Keith Moon was the greatest 'Keith Moon Style' drummer ever!!

NEW YORK POST
December 29, 2006 -- "ANIMAL House" boosted the careers of most of its young stars like John Belushi (Bluto), Kevin Bacon (Chip), Karen Allen (Katy), Tim Matheson (Otter), Tom Hulce (Pinto) and Stephen Furst (Flounder). But one of the brightest, Sarah Holcomb - who at 18 played the mayor's virginal 13-year-old daughter who passes out half-naked in the slovenly Delta frat house - tragically fell off the map. As Chris Miller, who co-wrote the screenplay of the 1978 comedy classic and penned the new book "The Real Animal House," relates to mrskin.com: "She was young, younger than the rest of us. We were a fast crowd. Drugs were everywhere. She fell into what, for lack of a better term, you would have to call bad company. And got [bleeped] up on drugs. Coke, primarily, if memory serves," Miller says. "[She] wound up in some home for [bleeped]-up young girls . . . wound up sort-of erased from life. I don't know what became of her. Sad story." Holcomb only made three more films before vanishing into obscurity after "Caddyshack."
Sarah Holcomb's (Clorette DePasto) four-year film career ended with Caddyshack in 1980. She reportedly turned to alcohol and drugs and slowly lost touch with reality as she suffered from schizophrenia. The 2004 film Stateside is reportedly about her descent through alcohol, drugs, sexual abuse and finally mental illness. I am told she is now living a quiet, obscure life far from the madness of Hollywood under an assumed name and does not wish to be found.

She was very sexy here but unbelievably unattractive in Caddyshack IMO. Reminds me of Michelle Meyrink in Real Genius vs Revenge of the Nerds.

I think she was really cute in Real Genius.

There is an entire thread devoted to the cute sexiness of Michelle Meyrink on the Real Genius board :)

The entire Sarah Holcomb subplot of CADDYSHACK was so unnecessary. Completely depressing in a screwball comedy. I don't know why they decided to have it in there.

Agree completely. Oh and don't forget Meyrink in Valley Girl. It had to be hard to ugly her up for ROTN.

Her story is told in the (fictional) movie "Stateside," in which her brother appears.
