Caroline Goddard

Biography

Caroline Williams is a celebrated American actress and producer, forever etched into horror history as a quintessential "Scream Queen." A proud Texan, she began her career in the mid-70s, but it was her 1986 star-making turn as the fearless radio DJ Vanita "Stretch" Brock in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 that defined her legacy. Starring alongside Dennis Hopper, her performance was lauded for its grit and emotional stamina, culminating in an iconic final scene that remains one of the most memorable in the genre. To be honest, her career is a bit of a "sequel specialist" masterclass; she has appeared in the second or third installments of several major franchises, including Stepfather II, Texas Chainsaw III, Leprechaun 3, and Halloween II. Beyond the blood and gore, Caroline has built a steady career in mainstream television and film, with roles in Days of Thunder and guest appearances on Grey's Anatomy, The Mentalist, and Murder, She Wrote. She is known for her "total fearlessness" and a distinctively Southern charm that she brings to every role. After taking a brief hiatus to raise her children, she returned to the industry with renewed vigor, proving that the "Final Girl" energy never truly fades. As of 2026, she remains a beloved fixture on the horror convention circuit and continues to lead independent genre films, recently starring in the surreal horror-thriller Ten Minutes to Midnight and the 2024 holiday horror He Sees You When You're Sleeping.
