Sarah Holcomb is an American former actress. Her first role was in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) as Clorette DePasto, the 13-year-old daughter of shady Mayor Carmine DePasto (portrayed by Cesare Danova).
Following Animal House, she appeared as Maggie O'Hooligan in Caddyshack (1980). Holcomb had been cast in Jaws 2 (1978), but was one of several teenaged actors let go as that film went through many script revisions early in production.[1]
Holcomb struggled with mental illness and drug abuse. She was institutionalized for a period before stabilizing and dropping out of the entertainment industry and avoiding publicity.[2] The character of Dorri Lawrence in the film Stateside, an actress who suffers from schizophrenia, is partly based on Holcomb.[3]
