Wendie Jo Sperber
Wendie Jo Sperber (September 15, 1958 – November 29, 2005) was an American actress, known for her performances in the films ''I Wanna Hold Your Hand'' (1978), ''Bachelor Party'' (1984), and ''Back to the Future'' (1985) and as well as the television sitcoms ''Bosom Buddies'' (1980–1982) and ''Private Benjamin'' (1982–1983).
==Early life and career==
Sperber was born in Hollywood and aimed for a performing-arts career from high school onward. She attended the summer Teenage Drama Workshop at California State University, Northridge, during the 1970s, and began her screen career at a young age when she was cast in the small role of "Kuchinsky", in Matthew Robbins' 1978 teen comedy ''Corvette Summer,'' alongside Mark Hamill and Annie Potts. She appeared in Robert Zemeckis' period comedy ''I Wanna Hold Your Hand,'' as the irrepressible "Rosie Petrofsky". Sperber was overweight, but was able to move quickly on screen (''Entertainment Weekly'' described Rosie Petrofsky as "a screaming Beatlemaniac who, among other things, climbed through elevator shafts"), and her “girl-next-door” appearance helped her to overcome the stigma of her weight. Leslie Hoffman, stuntwoman, did the leap from the car.
She played the title role in the ''ABC Afterschool Special'' feature ''Dinky Hocker'', which dealt with a teenager's attempts to hide her feelings by eating, and engaged in physical comedy in Steven Spielberg's ''1941''. Zemeckis, who also worked on ''1941'', brought Sperber back to the big screen in 1980 with a role in his comedy ''Used Cars,'' but it was on television that year that Sperber finally began to receive more serious attention. She was cast in the role of "Amy Cassidy;" a character that was funny, romantic, and exuberant— in the series ''Bosom Buddies,'' starring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari. Following its cancellation in 1982, Sperber appeared in the comedy ''The First Time,'' and worked a year on the series ''Private Benjamin''.〔IMDb at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0818274/?ref_=nv_sr_1〕 She then resumed her feature work in the Tom Hanks theatrical vehicle ''Bachelor Party'', directed by Neal Israel. Israel used her again in ''Moving Violations'' in 1985. That same year, she appeared as Linda McFly in Zemeckis' highly successful ''Back to the Future.''
Sperber's roles grew larger in the wake of ''Back to the Future,'' and over the next decade she starred in the series ''Babes'' (a comedy about three zaftig women; her costar Susan Peretz also lost her fight with breast cancer a year earlier). In 1994, Sperber was cast in a major supporting part in the CBS-TV series ''Hearts Afire''. By this time, she had lost a lot of weight. As far as acting roles were concerned, she preferred comedy. As she told ''TV Guide'' in 1990, “I'm an actress who likes to say something funny—everybody laughs and your job is done.”
