Actress Carolyn Purdy-Gordon maintained her most frequent presence in horror outings, often directed by longtime husband Stuart Gordon of Chicago's Organic Theater. She began her eminent screen career with a portrayal of a physician in Gordon's popular gorefest-cum-black comedy Re-Animator (1985), starring Jeffrey Combs and Bruce Abbott, then worked on additional projects with her husband including the horror comedy From Beyond (1986), the more straight-faced shocker Dolls (1987), and the sci-fi action movie Robot Jox (1989). In 2007, Purdy-Gordon returned to the screen after a lengthy absence with a supporting role in Stuart Gordon's psychological thriller Stuck, starring Mena Suvari and Stephen Rea.
