This summer Jason lost his mother. And millions of fans all over the world lost that wonderful actress who gave us an incredible performance in that first, original Friday the 13th. Sure, Betsy Palmer was known for many things, but eventually she became best known as Pamela Voorhees, the mother of Jason.
Thank you for that wonderful role, Betsy. You will be missed!
Betsy Palmer (1926-2015)
