Sarah Holcomb is an American former actress. Her first role was in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) as Clorette DePasto, the 13-year-old daughter of shady Mayor Carmine DePasto; Holcomb was 19 years old when filming began in October, 1977.
Following Animal House, she had roles in four other films, concluding with Caddyshack, released in 1980. She was initially cast in Jaws 2 (1978), but was one of several teenage actors let go as that film went through many script revisions early in production.[1]
Animal House co-writer Chris Miller said, "She was young, younger than the rest of us. We were a fast crowd. Drugs were everywhere. She fell into what, for lack of a better term, you would have to call bad company."[2]
The Dorri Lawrence character in the film Stateside, an actress who suffers from schizophrenia, is based on Holcomb.[3]
