SUNNY JOHNSON

Her film career may have been short, but she was certainly memorable as Jeanie, the figure skater, in the film Flashdance. Before landing on the big screen, however, Sunny Sue Johnson had several television appearances, including Baretta and Charlie’s Angels. Aside from Flashdance, she was also in The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia, as well as a brief appearance in Animal House, where she portrayed as a sorority housemate of the character Fawn Liebowitz.

She was even included as “Otter’s Co-ed” in the film’s credit. Sunny perished in 1984, after she was found unconscious at home and subsequently taken to the UCLA Medical Center. The actress was only 30 years old back then. She was a great loss to the industry – a real talent that was gone too soon. If she only made it until today, she should have been one of the legendary actresses the entertainment business had.
