Her first horror outing came when she played the role of Stevie Wayne in The Fog, released in 1980.

She went on to play lead roles in Escape from New York and Creep Show.

Before her move into the scary movies, she was the original Rizzo in Broadway musical Grease in the 70s.

But 40 years on Adrienne Barbeau still looks incredible as she donned cowboy boots while out in Los Angeles this week.
