Lynn Lowry

She is perhaps best known for her work in horror films, having appeared in the cult films I Drink Your Blood (1970), George A. Romero's The Crazies (1973) and David Cronenberg's Shivers (1975). Lowry was born in East St. Louis, Illinois, and lived in Cahokia, Illinois during her early childhood. At age twelve, she relocated with her family to Burbank, California, and later, Atlanta, Georgia, where her father transferred for work. She enrolled at the University of Georgia on a scholarship in 1966, studying theater for two years. She later worked as a Playboy Bunny at the Atlanta Playboy Club, and gave birth to her son. In 1969, Lowry moved with her son to New York City, working as a bartender while auditioning for acting roles.
