Lynn’s biography in her own words: My name is Lynn Lowry and I’m an American-born actress who’s been performing, directing, and producing for about five decades. I’m best known for the cult classic horror films, I DRINK YOUR BLOOD, THE CRAZIES, SHIVERS, and CAT PEOPLE. But my professional career really began at seventeen when I acted opposite the sixteen-year-old John Belushi at the Shawnee Summer Theatre in Bloomfield, Indiana. Shortly after that I went to New York where I was cast in most of the cult classics but also starred opposite Peter Fonda in FIGHTING MAD, directed by Academy Award winner Jonathan Demme. I was a regular on the soap opera, HOW TO SURVIVE A MARRIAGE opposite F. Murray Abraham and Brad Davis and also acted in ANOTHER WORLD. While in New York, I studied all styles of theatre, finally becoming a producer and director at the off-Broadway theatre, The Production Company, and did three plays at the famed Manhattan Theatre Club.

In the past 20 yrs, I’ve been singing with my jazz trio in LA and doing a multitude of indy films. I’ve won 18 Best Actress Awards for my work in MODEL HUNGER, BASEMENT JACK, THE PERIPHERAL, READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP, FANG, and A HALLOWEEN FEAST as well as three Life Time Achievement Awards and the Lon Chaney Award for my contributions to independent film. I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with George A. Romero, David Cronenberg, David E. Durston, Paul Schrader, Lloyd Kaufman and so many more wonderful directors. They provided me with a legacy that will never die. And that is priceless!
