Biography

Melanie Kinnaman is an American dancer, film, and stage actress. She is best known for her role as perky halfway house director Pam in the 1985 horror film Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning. Unlike some other 'Friday' leading ladies, whose default position seems to be blaming these films for their failed careers, Melanie is proud of her association with the long-running series.
