Biography
Debbie Rochon grew up in British Columbia, Canada. She was a
child of the streets and victim of much abuse until she accidentally ended up in a
featured extra role in Paramount's Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1981)!
The event changed her life, and she saved enough money to move to New York City and study
acting at age 17. After many years working with numerous theater companies in off-Broadway
plays, she started to land small roles in films. Spike Lee's editor Barry Alexander Brown
cast her in a featured role in his first directing effort, Lonely in America (1991). Soon
the parts grew bigger and bigger and primarily fell in the fear flick genre.
Since then Debbie has starred in dozens of horror movies and has gained cult stardom
worldwide. Since 1994, she has acted in various roles in Lloyd Kaufman's Troma
Productions, most notably Tromeo and Juliet (1996) and Terror Firmer (1999), as well as
many other low-budget independent made-for-video horror flicks in lead, supporting, minor
and bit parts. Although she is mostly associated with creepy features and thrillers
because of her evenly-shaped, dark-haired appearance on and off camera, she has garnered
acclaim for her turns in comedy and drama. She has also co-hosted a number of radio shows
in New York City that focused on film and pop culture. Was inducted into the B-Movie Hall
of Fame October 2004
