She was absolutely brilliant in “Animal House.” I bet she had fun with that part. RIP.

If she was really married to her Animal House husband, she would be Verna Vernon.

Headline: “Mrs. Wormer to Vacation in Sarasota Springs”

PS - interesting tidbit, “Stork” actually cashed it in 2 years after the movie was released.

Great acting in Animal House - thanks much for the laughs and the memories.

Make your soul rest in peace, and may your family be comforted by your time with them.

When I was a kid we were spending our summer with our aunt and uncle. Their place was just down the road from 20th Century Fox Ranch. We ran to the grocery store with my aunt and they were filming this movie at the store. I remember very well it was a scene right at the door of the place. I remember seeing Peter Graves (I knew him from Mission Impossible at the time). We watched for a little while but it was not terribly exciting. I think they must have been blocking shots or something.

“Do the Bluto” (Animal House closing credits)

Let me t-t-tell you ‘bout some friends I know
They’re kinda crazy but you’ll dig the show
They can party ‘till the break of dawn
at Delta Chi you can’t go wrong

Otter, he’s the ladies man
Every girl falls into his hands
Boon and Katy playing “Cat and Mouse”
and Mrs. Wormer, she’s the queen of the

ANIMAL HOUSE

That Pinto he’s a real swell guy
Clorette was jailbait but he gave her a try
Chip, Doug, and Greg, they’re second to none
They studied under Attila the Hun

Mr. Jennings has got his wig on tight
Flouder’s left shoe’s always on his right
Babs and Mandy are having a pillow fight
With D-Day, Hoover, Otis Day and the Knights

DO THE BLUTO

Come on baby, dance with me
Maybe if we do the Bluto
We will get an “A” in lobotomy

DO THE BLUTO
DO THE BLUTO
DO THE BLUTO
DO THE BLUTO

Aw, come on!
Let me tell ya
Dean Wormer tried to shut us down
But he fell and he broke his crown

He didn’t know about the Delta spunk
He came in handy when we were short a skunk
At the

“Stork” co-wrote Animal House, Caddyshack, and the Bored of the Rings novel.

I didn’t know he committed suicide.
