Like an orgasmic Tsunami, actor, producer and singer, Caroline Williams left an unending mark upon the world of horror with her role as Stretch, in the unforgiving tale of ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2’. She was the \u00a0only woman to survive death as she lay there with her legs spread apart in a tub of ice, begging for the chainsaw not to go any further.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Other films Williams has appeared in include but are not limited to: ‘The Legend of Billie Jean’, ‘Stepfather 2’, ‘Days of Thunder’, ‘Getting Even’, ‘Alamo Bay’, ‘Leprechaun 3’, ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’,\u00a0 ‘Halloween ll’, ‘Contracted’, and ‘Hatchet lll’. Some of here television appearances include: ‘The Mentalist’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, ‘Suddenly Susan’, ‘ER’, ‘Nip\/Tuck’, ‘NYPD Blue’, ‘The Division’, and ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’.<\/p>\n

Aside from all of her incredible acting accomplishments, and an overwhelming effervescent personality and a rock star magnificent, Caroline is also a producer and singer, and isbout to unleash a brand new project entitled, ‘Greenlight’. After a two hour conversation, Caroline easily became a best friend. We traded questions and answers regarding her powerful career, inner most feelings, and further endeavors.<\/p>\n

What prompted you to become an actor? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have always loved telling stories. \u00a0When I was a kid growing up in the South, staying out late and telling ghost stories under the streetlights was such a treat. \u00a0Now, I get to do it in real time!<\/p>\n

Can you recall a moment that changed the whole trajectory of your life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Probably my first audit of an acting class. It galvanized the vision I had for my future and nothing has been the same since.<\/p>\n

Were you a fan of horror movies before you became a horror movie Scream Queen?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes and no. \u00a0I remember seeing a brief scene from ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ in Austin in 1975 during Texas\/OU weekend and it scared the hell out of me! \u00a0It was the scene with Pam going on the hook and it was shot in such cinema verite style that I was completely unnerved. \u00a0Also, ‘The Exorcist’ had made it into theaters at that time, and horror was achieving greater fan interest.\u00a0 ‘The Omen’ pretty much sealed the deal for me. \u00a0I\u2019d always loved the Universal Monsters (particularly Frankenstein), but there was an innocence to those movies that was completely redefined by Tobe Hooper, William Friedkin and Richard Donner in the movies that I named.<\/p>\n

What moment stands out as the highlight of your career thus far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There have been so many. \u00a0Each movie provides its own indelible impressions and each actor\/director\/DP\/crew person has an effect on my life. \u00a0My career has been one long luxury ride. \u00a0I have been honored to share the experience with so many gifted people.<\/p>\n

Was there a favorite or most challenging role that you’ve portrayed, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I truly think that is ahead of me. \u00a0My talents and emotional life have only grown and matured and my inclinations to take risks are enhanced in this time of my life. \u00a0But Stretch (TCM2) gave me everything I have, so she\u2019ll always have a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n
