Buxom and beautiful blonde actress Bobbie Bresee had a sadly short-lived reign as a scream queen in a handful of enjoyably trashy 80s low-budget horror pictures.
Bobbie was born in 1942 in Moscow, Idaho. Her father was a U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant who was killed in Guadalcanal during the Shelling of Henderson Field when she was less than a month old. Her mother married another Marine, Walter Richard Bartosh in 1945, producing her half-sister Sharon Lee Bartosh, born in 1947. Walter adopted her and he and her mother remained married until Walther's passing in 2014. She attended the University of Idaho, was a music teacher and onetime "Playboy" Bunny prior to embarking on an acting career.
Bresee gave a solid and impressive performance as a sweet and lovely young lady who becomes possessed by an evil sexually voracious demon in the fun fright feature Grabmal des Grauens (1983). (Bobbie was nominated for a Saturn Award as Best Actress for her fine acting in this film.) Bresee was quite funny as Smeg's mom in the crudely amusing Surf Nazis Must Die (1987) and had a memorably sexy bit as a luscious, but lethal temptress in the crummy Ghoulies (1984). Bobbie tackled a semi-autobiographical starring role as a faded aging B-movie starlet who transforms into a murderous humanoid insect monster after taking an experimental youthful serum in the delightfully dreadful Evil Spawn (1987). Bresee popped up in guest spots on the TV shows Drei Engel für Charlie (1976), B.J. und der Bär (1978), Love Boat (1977), Simon und Simon (1981), and Ein Colt für alle Fälle (1981). She had a recurring part on the daytime soap opera California Clan (1984).
In real life Bobbie Bresee is an extremely charming and well-educated woman who plays the piano.
