From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Brinke Stevens (born September 20, 1954 in San Diego, California as Charlene Elizabeth Brinkman) seems one of the most unlikely scream queens of the B-movie genre. In many ways she breaks the stereotypes expected of these stars.
With 95 movie credits to her name by mid-2005, in addition to ones for writing, producing, set decorator, crew, and 24 additional appearances as herself, Brinke has already shown longevity in an industry renown for quite the opposite. Still going strong as of 2005, she is one of the premier Scream Queens for whom the term is coined.
Vital statistics:
- Height: 5'4" (163cm)
- Measurements: 33.5B – 22 – 33 (Celebrity Sleuth)
- Married: to comic book artist Dave_Stevens 1980-1981.
Education:
- Bachelor of Science in Biology and Psychology from San_Diego_State_University graduating with Highest Honors.
- Masters of Science in Oceanography from Scripps_Institution_of_Oceanography, La Jolla, California (which was not an easy school to get into at the time).
Little known facts about Brinke include:
- Has studied seven foreign languages, including Esperanto.
- Is a currently inactive member of Mensa.
- Had intended to study dolphin language following in the footsteps of John C. Lilly until his public excursions into psychedelic drugs destroyed the respectability of that field just as she hoped to enter it.
- Is proud owner of one of the few — if only — pair of non-surgically-enhanced breasts in her industry.
- Was "discovered" by accident while going to a modeling assignment by a producer who cast as an extra.
- Was once the subject of a Jeopardy answer, "Brinke Stevens is known by this semi-rhyming title." (Question: What is a Scream Queen?)
- Is an uncredited extra in two scenes of the cult classic, This Is Spinal Tap. They liked her so much in the concert scene that she was called back as a featured groupie for the band's hotel room scene afterwards.
- If Brinke ever gets around to writing her autobiography, she has already picked its title: Twilight Descends over Los Feliz. The opening line will be: "In the shadow of the Observatory, twilight descends over Los Feliz."
