Ghostbusters & Charles in Charge Actor Jennifer Runyon Dies at 65

In the original 1984 film Ghostbusters, Runyon had a small but memorable role as the female student in the scene where Bill Murray’s character, Peter Venkman, tests people for psychic abilities. Venkman shows students a card and asks them to guess its shape without looking, giving them a shock for each wrong answer. Interestingly, Venkman never shocks Runyon’s character, even though she guesses every card incorrectly – while the other student actually does pretty well! This funny scene made an impression, and Runyon later appeared in several Ghostbusters documentaries because of her part.
