- Pamela Jayne "P.J." Soles (née Hardon; born July 17, 1950) is an American actress. She made her film debut in 1976 as Norma Watson in Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976) before portraying Lynda van der Klok in John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) and Riff Randell in Allan Arkush's Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979). She has since starred in a variety of films including Breaking Away (1979), Private Benjamin (1980), Stripes (1981), Sweet Dreams (1985), Jawbreaker (1999), and The Devil's Rejects (2005).
Soles moved to Manhattan and began acting in commercials and modeling for fashion magazines, and relocated to Los Angeles in 1975. She was among the hundreds of actors auditioning for Brian De Palma and George Lucas in their joint casting session for Carrie (1976) and Star Wars (1977).
She originally auditioned for the role of Princess Leia in Star Wars but the part ultimately went to Carrie Fisher. However, she was cast as Norma Watson in Brian De Palma's Carrie. She starred alongside Sissy Spacek, Nancy Allen, John Travolta, and Piper Laurie.
Originally, her character was only supposed to have one line but Palma expanded her role. Soles was injured on the set during filming, when a blast from a fire hose during the prom scene ruptured her eardrum.
The same year, she reunited with Carrie costar John Travolta in Randal Kleiser's television film The Boy in the Plastic Bubble.Subsequently, she went to Georgia to film Our Winning Season (1978) and met actor Dennis Quaid. They were married in 1978 in Texas on a dude ranch, and both appeared in the comedy film Breaking Away in 1979.
In 1978, Soles was cast as Lynda van der Klok in John Carpenter's Halloween (1978), the final victim of the Michael Myers character in the classic horror film. Carpenter wanted her for his film Halloween after seeing Carrie. He wrote the part of Lynda specifically for her because of the way she said the word "totally".
The following year, Soles was cast as Riff Randell in the musical comedy film Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979) with The Ramones. She has a singing credit for a second version of the title song on the movie's soundtrack. She reprised the role of Riff Randell in the artwork for the Local H album Whatever Happened to P.J. Soles?.
In 1980, Soles portrayed Private Wanda Winter in the comedy film Private Benjamin. The following year, she portrayed Bill Murray's girlfriend, Stella Hansen, in the comedy film Stripes.
In 1985, Soles starred alongside Jessica Lange as Wanda in Karel Reisz's biographical film Sweet Dreams. In 1999, Soles was cast in the black comedy film Jawbreaker. In 2005, Soles played the victim, Susan, of a family on a murderous rampage in the Rob Zombie movie The Devil's Rejects. In 2012, she starred alongside Barbara Steele, Heather Langenkamp, Camille Keaton, and Adrienne King in The Butterfly Room.

Love PJ and William. A fan since 1976. Love the way they have so much fun together. Could listen to them talk CARRIE all day long. Thank you.
William Katt...still a beautiful man & wonderful actor from ABC’s Greatest American Hero & 70s Horror, Carrie🦸🏼♂️👩🏻🦰👏🏼
This was a pretty terrific panel
I love bill, he's so great and has such an infectious personality lol
I agree. He and PJ are great together.
😊
Love You PJ William,Sisi Spencer
When I was little, I had a total crush on PJ especially after the "playboy" cover scene at the end of Stripes. She's still a cute grandma. I like how Bill loves his craft and explains it. I loved the Greatest American Hero. He's underutilized. After watching this, he could still go back for a serious part. Not sure if that's his goal, but he would definitely fly!
nice William!
I love Bill’s stories. I wish he had his own Carrie commentary. He is a gem. Who were the cheerleaders in Carrie? I remember wondering where that popular clique was. BETSY SLADE was the one who DePalma wanted for Carrietta White. She resembled Amanda Plummer. Love how they applaud the fans and hug each other at the end. Vintage!
This was great. 😊 Carrie is one of my favorite movies.
Grande willian te veo muy bien y sos muy simpatico sos un grande ya y nunca nadie puede decir lo contrario genio
her character was rude what an evil thing to do but I am glad she's friendly in real life
I want to know where PJ got that shirt? 😊
This was great, I just wish the audience next door wasn’t so damn loud. Some very interesting information on the casting of Carrie was drowned out.
She had a hand mic. but forgot to use it.
Exactly. You don’t put your guest panel room next to a loud media room, Con Running 101...
Brilliant movie .PJ is still Hot !! Tommy was such a good person!!
Have a nice day
Hopefully free and clean in this day in age
Della Street’s son!
Why didn’t he sit down
Maybe his back hurt when he was sitting.
