Sandra Peabody

Sandra Peabody (born January 11, 1948) is an American script supervisor, screenwriter, producer, acting coach and former actress and model. While her acting career, on stage and film, only lasted from 1970 to 1974, she gained prominence for her role as the ill-fated Mari Collingwood in Wes Craven's debut film The Last House on the Left (1972). A cult hit, the film established her as a prominent actress in horror, and she subsequently starred in Voices of Desire (1972), Massage Parlor Murders! (1973), and Legacy of Satan (1974). Peabody's other notable role is Bird in the independent comedy film Teenage Hitchhikers (1975). Peabody also appeared on stage, including a role as The Sun in Robert Kalfin's Off-Broadway musical revue Tarot (1970), which ran at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, followed by a supporting role as Minnie in Jay Harnick's musical comedy Annie Get Your Gun (1973–1974). Peabody quit acting in 1974 and transitioned into screenwriting and producing with a focus on children orientated programming. She now works as an acting coach in the Los Angeles and Portland areas.
