Legendary “Scream Queen” Adrienne Barbeau has barely slowed down since her start in the industry 60-plus years ago. After thrilling fans with her appearance at the Hollywood Show at the start of this year, the 81-year-old Barbeau now has two films coming out later this year in theaters — Oddities and Hannah Goes to Hell. She also has two books available in bookstores There Are Worst Things I Could Do and GREASE Tell Me More, Tell Me More.

Barbeau sat down with ReMIND Magazine to chat about a lot of things, including her memorable turn in 1980’s The Fog.
