Emily Longstreth


She just kind of disappeared. I remember there was talk on her old IMDB board about Emily having personal problems. I think one of her family members used to post.

Emily Longstreth, playing Patti, shines as Rob's potential girlfriend and shows-off her physical beauty in a white bikini in the last act. She fell out of acting entirely by the 90s and reportedly fell into substance abuse, mental illness, and living in a homeless shelter in New York City. While there were rumors that she died in January, 2015, this turned out to be untrue as her sister-in-law said this in 2016:

“I am the ex-sister-in-law to Emily Longstreth. I have a daughter with her only brother Eric Longstreth who lives in Las Vegas with their mother. Emily lives in NYC in an apartment with some roommates. She has lived in homeless shelters for over 10 yrs. Her mother’s name is Lene Wangmo (she had her named changed when she converted to Buddhism). Her born name is Helen Lenee Corn. She has two children Eric and Emily, Emily’s father is John Longstreth, who lives in Lake Forest, Ca. I just saw Emily in October when Eric flew her out for the month. She has changed a lot from her 20s. Anyone who is interested in her, I know a lot about her life and why she isn’t able to act anymore. She was diagnosed w/ bipolar and paranoid schizophrenia at age 24 or 25. It’s a tragedy. I've only met her a few times because we live in Vegas. I can’t stand my ex, Eric."

I thought she was very good in this. Very cute and likable, seemed different from all the bikini babes on display. Not that I wouldn't have liked to see her bare it all, I surely would. But she was well cast to differentiate her from the others.

Credits say she was in Pretty In Pink, but I haven't seen that in awhile. Sad to read she fell on hard times.
