Adrienne King is an American actress and artist. She made her film debut in the television film Inherit the Wind (1965)—followed by uncredited roles in Between the Lines (1977), Saturday Night Fever (1977), and Hair (1979).
She is best known for portraying Alice Hardy in the Friday the 13th franchise—appearing in Friday the 13th (1980), Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), and the fan film Jason Rising (2021). King was rumored to appear in an unconfirmed role in the upcoming Peacock series, Crystal Lake, which will be a prequel series to the original 1980 film but casting has not been confirmed.[1]
After starring in the original Friday the 13th, King became the target of a stalker and retired from acting for three decades—beginning her career as an ADR looper and developing her skills as an artist. In 2010, she returned to acting in the low-budget horror film Psychic Experiment. King followed this with roles in The Butterfly Room (2012), Tales of Poe (2014), and Killer Therapy (2019). King is the narrator of the audiobook of Grady Hendrix's novel The Final Girl Support Group (2021).
