Jayne Trcka, known for her role in the first Scary Movie, has died aged 62.
The actor and bodybuilder’s son confirmed to TMZ that she passed away on December 12 in San Diego, and that she had no existing illness or medical condition that he was aware of.
The San Diego medical examiner also confirmed her death to the outlet, adding that the cause of death is yet to be determined. They would also tell The Sun: “There was trauma to the body, but we wouldn’t be able to indicate cause of death at this time.”
An update to the report states that law enforcement officers told TMZ that Trcka’s friend called her several times days before her body was found, to no response. Concerned for her wellbeing, the friend visited Trcka’s house and found her unresponsive, prompting a 911 call where responders pronounced her dead on the scene.
Born in Minnesota, she first found success as a bodybuilder and personal trainer in the ‘80s and ‘90s. She would win first place at the 1997 California State Championships at age 34, as well as a top prize in the 1998 Junior Nationals.
In 2000, she got her first acting gig in Scary Movie, playing the gym teacher Miss Mann opposite co-stars Anna Faris and Marlon Wayans. The film was a spoof of slasher movies such as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project.
She would go on to appear on the shows Don’t Forget Your Tooth Brush, Who’s Line Is It Anyway? and The Drew Carey Show.
She would also have a small role in the music video for Beyonce and Lady Gaga hit ‘Telephone’, appearing during the opening scene as a prison guard in the opening scenes.
