Annette O'Toole: Biography

American actress Annette O'Toole has used her dancer's training to excellent advantage in her extrovert film roles. The first movie appearance for the redheaded UCLA grad was the 1975 beauty-contest satire Smile, in which she grinned her way through the role of Miss San Diego. She swam nude in Cat People (1982), but was equally attractive when fully clothed in such crowdpleasers as 48 Hrs. (1982) and Superman III (1983). On television, Annette O'Toole was prominently featured in the Jack Lemmon remake of The Entertainer (1976), the pormanteau pilot film Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1983) (the "Unlocked Window" sequence), and in the two-part Stephen King's "It" (1991). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
