Actor / Director Profile

Sunny, lovely and appealing brunette actress Jill Whitlow was born in 1964. Whitlow started acting in TV commercials at age three. Jill made her film debut with a small role as high school student Mindy in the outrageously raunchy comedy smash Porky's (1982). Whitlow also had minor parts in the movies Weird Science (1985) and Mask (1985). Jill achieved her greatest enduring cult cinema popularity with her winningly spunky and spirited portrayal of the perky'n'plucky Cynthia 'Cindy' Cronenberg in Fred Dekker's delightful tongue-in-cheek, B-horror, zombie splatter pastiche Night of the Creeps (1986). She was likewise memorable as the fetching Robin in the enjoyable Twice Dead (1988) and the sweet Laurie in the silly Ghost Chase (1987) (Jill was reunited with her Night of the Creeps (1986) co-star Jason Lively in this latter picture). Whitlow had a regular role as Tena Tidy on the TV series Adventures Beyond Belief (1987) (TV). She made guest appearances on episodes of the TV shows "T.J. Hooker" (1982), "Gimme a Break!" (1981), "Silver Spoons" (1982), "Otherworld" (1985), "Airwolf" (1984), "Freddy's Nightmares" (1988), "Baby Boom" (1988), "Tribes" (1990), and "Swamp Thing" (1990). Asside from her film and TV credits, Jill also did a TV commercial for Diet Coke and was prominently featured in the music video for "Hungry" by the 1980s hair metal band Winger. Alas, Whitlow decided to call it a day as an actress in the 1990s. She's the mother of two children. Engaged to Actor/Producer Jason Loughridge.
