Sad news to kick off the week as news broke that Jennifer Runyon has passed away at the age of 65.
Variety reports that Runyon’s close friend, Erin Murphy, confirmed her death in a Facebook post, writing, “So sad to share that my friend Jennifer Runyon Corman has passed away after a brief battle with cancer. Some people you just know you’ll be friends with before you even meet. She was a special lady. I’ll miss you Jenn. My thoughts are with your family and beautiful children.”
Runyon made her feature film debut in the 1980 slasher film To All a Good Night and went on to have supporting roles in the comedies Up the Creek and Ghostbusters, both released in 1984.
In Ghostbusters, she appears as a student taking part in an ESP test administered by Bill Murray’s Peter Venkman, who jokingly declares her to be psychic.
She will be fondly remembered by fans of the films and television shows she helped bring to life.
