, the prolific B-movie actress and Penthouse Pet of the Year who stood 6-foot-1 became a towering presence on the Comic-Con and autograph show circuit, has died, according to Malibu Bay Films and former associates. She was 57.
A statement from Malibu Bay praised Strain as a larger-than-life actress whose winning personality was her most outsized feature: “She will forever remain in our hearts and on our screens as the mesmerizingly talented, contagiously kind and incredibly powerful actress and heroine.” Strain had struggled in recent years with degenerative dementia and lingering effects of a major head trauma suffered in her early 20s during a bad equestrian mishap. A former high school athlete in Pleasant Valley, Ca., the native of nearby Concord endured the difficult road to recovery and then began a career as a model and actress. Despite the medical factors, Strain would handle much of her own stunt work over the years while carving out a career that would surpass 100 film credits.

“I take pride in my body and work out five days a week,” Strain said. “To be chosen as [Penthouse] Pet of the Year when I was 31 was truly a blessing. I did their first video and CD-ROM. That year gave me the seed money to start my career. Most of my friends are centerfolds. I think sexy women rule the planet.”
