Her first role was in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) as Clorette DePasto, the daughter of Mayor Carmine DePasto (portrayed by Cesare Danova).
Following Animal House, she appeared as Maggie O'Hooligan in Caddyshack (1980). Holcomb had been cast in Jaws 2 (1978), but was one of several teenaged actors let go as that film went through many script revisions early in production.[1]
Personal life
Holcomb struggled with mental illness and drug abuse. She was institutionalized for a period before stabilizing and retiring from the entertainment industry and avoiding publicity.[2] The character of Dori Lawrence in the film Stateside, an actress who has schizophrenia, is partly based on Holcomb.[3]
