Who is Sarah Holcomb?
Sarah Holcomb is a former American actress. She made her debut in the film National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978) as Clorette DePasto. She played the role of the 13-year-old daughter of the corrupt Mayor Carmine DePasto, played by Cesare Danova.
After her role in Animal House, she went on to play Maggie O’Hooligan in Caddyshack (1980). Holcomb was first cast in Jaws 2 (1978). But she was later let go along with other young actors because the script changed a lot during the early stages of filming.
Holcomb battled with mental health issues and substance use disorders, leading to her being admitted to a mental health facility for a period of time. She eventually found stability and chose to leave the entertainment world, avoiding the spotlight.
The character of Dorri Lawrence in the movie Stateside, an actress who grapples with schizophrenia, is partially inspired by Holcomb’s experiences.
