What the Friday the 13th final girls look like today

The Friday the 13th series is one of the most well-known horror franchises in film history, spawning nine sequels, a TV series, a crossover, and a reboot since the release of the original film in 1980. Though the movies vary in terms of popularity and critical reception, they remain beloved for their action-packed battles between Jason and his prey, as well as the sometimes comedic satirical nature of certain entries in the series. While the success of the franchise is largely due to the films' primary antagonist, the terrifying Jason Voorhees, the various Final Girls who survived their encounters deserve praise for giving audiences someone to root for amid the carnage.

Many of the actresses were interviewed regarding their respective roles for the 2013 documentary Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th. For some of them, this labor-of-love retrospective was the first time they had spoken publicly about their performances (and their careers since) in many years. Though you might not recognize them all, these women have gone on to star in film and television, start businesses, write books, and pursue other avenues outside of acting. Here are some of Friday the 13's Final Girls and what they are doing now.
