Patricia J. Tallman (born 4 September 1957) is an American actress and stunt performer, sometimes credited as Pat Tallman.
Tallman is the daughter of Jerry Tallman, a radio entertainer.[1] She received a bachelor of fine arts degree from Carnegie Mellon University's highly regarded Theater Arts Program.
In television, Tallman worked on the soap opera, Generations. Later, she had guest-starring roles on Tales from the Dark Side, and the science fiction shows, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Babylon 5 (as Lyta Alexander). With fellow Carnegie Mellon alumni, Tom Savini and George A. Romero, Tallman collaborated on several films, including Knightriders (starring Ed Harris), Monkey Shines (in which Savini did makeup and stunt work), and Creepshow 2 (in which Tallman performed stunts).
In 1990, Tallman starred as Barbara in the Savini-directed remake of the 1968 classic, Night of the Living Dead. She also played the Possessed Witch under heavy make-up in the cult classic Army of Darkness. Her image was used on the show Angel to represent Julia Cooper, the twin sister of vampire hunter Justine Cooper.
Tallman's recent acting credits include the psychological horror short, Jennifer Is Dead, the black comedy For Pete's Wake, and guest spots on Without a Trace. Tallman will appear in the horror film Dead Air, and in the new film InAlienable Tallman plays Dr Klein a crony of the evil scientist.
Tallman has a son, Julian.
