As a lover of 80s cult cinema, I greatly enjoyed the work of Marcia Karr, my newest interview subject, in movies like Chained Heat, Savage Streets and Killer Workout.

I hope you all enjoy getting to know this great artist. Say hello to Valli O’Reilly! Johnny: Hello, Ms. O’Reilly. Valli: Hi. How are you? Johnny: I’m doing good. First of all, thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Valli:
