Laurel Kornfeld

Laurel Kornfeld has been an actress since early childhood. She started out in local and community theater, with most of her performances being in musicals. In the 1990s, she became a "scream queen," acting in numerous horror films, which she continues to do to this day. A New Jersey native, Laurel attended Rutgers and Harvard Universities. She is also a writer and a progressive political activist and is currently (2011) pursuing a Masters in astronomy at Swinburne University. A fearsome advocate for Pluto's planet status, she has leveraged her advocacy for Pluto into a trademark, earning the nickname "Plutogirl," with an ongoing gag of trying to get mention of Pluto into as many of her films as possible. In "Mary Horror," she does this as a mental patient who states emphatically, "Pluto IS a planet." A youthful, free-spirited redhead, Laurel is quirky, offbeat, comedic, outspoken, and in her own words, "an eternal hippie." She is working on a book "The Little Planet That Would Not Die: Pluto's Story." - IMDb Mini Biography By: Raven Lowell
