Amanda Wyss At Days of the Dead Louisville 2016

The last time I saw actress Amanda Wyss, she was sporting an arm cast, but she was a trooper and delighted fans all weekend at Days of the Dead 2012 in Indianapolis.  My recap of that can be found at The Gutsy Amanda Wyss.

Wyss costarred in such hits as Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Nightmare on Elm Street, among others.  She has also had recurring roles and guest appearances on episodic television.  Additionally, she is a popular guest at comic cons.

This time, I reconnected with Wyss at Days of the Dead Louisville 2016.  This time, she was not hindered by the cast.  She was full of energy and gladly moved around for pictures with her fans.  Last time, she was forced to sit and request that fans not hit her arm, but she still kept her fans happy!

Wyss is a great guest, eagerly talking about her roles in the iconic movies, as well as her other projects.  Once again, Days of the Dead brings in the bests guests!

The Gutsy Amanda Wyss

Freddy Krueger's very first murder victim in the Nightmare on Elm Street films was played by actress Amanda Wyss.  That wasn't her first role, nor was it her last.  It is hard to believe that Wyss has been active for about 30 years.  Honestly, I am not great about guessing ages, but at Days of the Dead, Wyss looked much younger than her reported age (look it up...I'm not telling).
Wyss proved herself to be quite the trooper when she appeared at the Days of the Dead convention despite having a severely injured shoulder.  Most celebs would have opted out, but Wyss was a gamer.  She eagerly posed for pictures, although did request no hugs or shoulder contact of any kind.  Fortunately, it was her right shoulder, which did not affect her autograph signing.
Wyss was in such a good mood, you would never know she was also in pain.  What a trooper.  It was a pleasure meeting her and I walked away even more impressed.
