Mary Louise Weller, best known for her role as Mandy Pepperidge in the 1978 comedy classic Animal House, died on Thursday at the age of 79. Her longtime partner, Michael Roy Curtis, confirmed she passed away after a brief illness, just a day before her birthday. Weller's death marks the end of a brief but memorable acting career that left a lasting impression on fans of the film that became a cultural touchstone.
In Animal House, she played the snooty sorority sister dating Omega House president Gregory Marmalard, portrayed by James Daughton. Her character’s scene where John Belushi’s Bluto climbs a ladder to watch her undress remains iconic.
