Biography

Colleen Celeste Camp (born June 7, 1953) is an American actress and film producer, known for her roles in two films in the Police Academy series and as Yvette the Maid in the 1985 black comedy Clue. She was also the first actress to portray Kristin Shepard in the U.S. prime time soap opera Dallas in 1979.

Camp was born in San Francisco, California. She had small early roles in films such as 1975's Funny Lady with Barbra Streisand. She also appeared alongside Bruce Lee as his wife Anne in his final film, Game Of Death. Camp was a Playboy magazine pinup and played one in Francis Coppola's 1979 film Apocalypse Now, though most of her footage was cut from the initial theatrical release. Her scenes were later included more prominently in Coppola's Redux cut. She has worked steadily in film comedies, including Peter Bogdanovich's They All Laughed, 1983's Valley Girl, and the Michael J. Fox comedy Greedy. She is often cast as a police officer. Camp has been nominated twice for the Worst Supporting Actress Golden Raspberry Award—first in 1982 for The Seduction, and then in 1993 for Sliver. In 1999, she had a small part as Tracy Flick's overbearing mother in the film Election, with Reese Witherspoon in the title role. While continuing to act in shows such as HBO's Entourage, Camp has also established herself as a producer. She was married to John Goldwyn, a Paramount executive, from 1986 to 2001. They have one daughter, Emily. She appeared in the episode "Simple Explanation" of House, M.D., which first aired on April 6, 2009.
