What happened to Terri Susan Smith?

I just spent a nerdy hour or so on google trying find any information on Terri Susan Smith who, of course, plays Sharon the receptionist who comes to a fairly grotesque demise. I could find no information about her at all other than her role in Basket Case. I just watched this movie for the first time, loved it, and was mildly captivated by this actress, her mousy face, amazing hair, and grade-b (i.e. perfect) exploitation-style acting. If anybody knows anything else that she's done, maybe under a different name (?), I'd appreciate some feedback. Thanks.

Unfortunately we have witnessed the entire acting career of Terri Susan Smith. It really is a shame, a very beautiful woman, perfect for the genre. I've heard she was in a punk band at the time, she also had a shaved head, that's right, it's only an amazing wig.

So apparently she went insane and started making spiritual bowls. I kind of wish I had just left well enough alone. And now I've got this other guy telling me her amazing hair wasn't even real. I'm disappointed. Thanks anyway, though. Do you know what her punk band was called?

Hey, at least that's better than some bloke on another thread who thought she (and every other woman in this movie) was a guy. ;-)

She had some great and natural tits in this movie.

I too am of the same opinion. I was mesmerized at the first glance when the blanket swivels down her from chest to waist and exposes those perfect bossoms. So simple and natural shot yet so erotic, master piece! The beauty captured in that one shot is beyond compare. I hoped to see her in many more movies but sadly, she was untraceable.

I thought the hair was very obviously a wig...

What a shame, she´s now a "basket case" or in this case a "holy song made chakra infused piece of ugly clay representing her woumb" JIKES!!!!

I guess eventually becoming a *beep* lunatic is basically in the fine print of any respectable B-movie acting contract.

Hey it's funny to come across this, especially since you posted it so long ago. I'm actually friends with her and stayed at her place once. She lives in Stockholm with her son and goes by the name of Ahu. Hope this helps. Here's her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ahusmith
