Pamela Jayne Soles was noticed by John Carpenter after appearing in the two John Travolta films: Carrie and The Boy in the Plastic Bubble After Halloween, P.J. went on to star in other blockbuster hits including: Breaking Away, Private Benjamin, and Stripes, roles which provided her with the opportunity to work with Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Goldie Hawn, Bill Murray, John Candy, and Harold Ramis. Although Ramones fans may associate P.J. with Rock N' Roll High School, to Halloween aficionados she will always be remembered as the on-screen personification of the ill-fated Lynda Vander Klok.
