Sarah Holcomb

Sarah Holcomb is an American former actress.

Holcomb was aged 19 when filming began in October 1977.

Her first role was in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) as Clorette DePasto, the 13-year-old daughter of shady Mayor Carmine DePasto (portrayed by Cesare Danova).

Holcomb had been cast in Jaws 2 (1978), but was one of several teenaged actors let go as that film went through many script revisions early in production.

Holcomb struggled with mental illness and drug abuse.

She was institutionalized for a period before stabilizing and dropping out of the entertainment industry and avoiding publicity.

The character of Dorri Lawrence in the film Stateside, an actress who suffers from schizophrenia, is partly based on Holcomb.

Following Animal House, she appeared as Maggie O'Hooligan in Caddyshack (1980).
