Barbara Linnea Quigley (born May 27th, 1958) started her career with small parts in commercials and B-movies, such as "Stone Cold Dead" (1979) and "Wheeler" (1975). Her breakout role was in "The Return of the Living Dead" (1985), which has gone on to become a cult classic, and established her firmly as "Queen of the Bs". Quigley continues to appear in and produce films, and appears at horror conventions around the globe where she is a fan favorite.

"The Return of the Living Dead" is a 1985 American comedy horror film written and directed by Dan O'Bannon in his directorial debut, also starring Clu Gulager, James Karen, Thom Matthews and Don Calfa. The film tells the story of how a warehouse owner, accompanied by his two employees, mortician friend and a group of teenage punks, deal with the accidental release of a horde of unkillable, brain-hungry zombies onto an unsuspecting town. The film, described as a "mordant punk comedy", is known for introducing multiple popular concepts to the zombie genre: zombies eating specifically brains -- as opposed to eating any form of human flesh -- and zombies being vulnerable to a gunshot to the head. The film's soundtrack was noteworthy as it featured several Los Angeles-based deathrock and punk rock bands of the era. The film was a critical success and performed moderately well at the box office. The film has spawned four sequels.
