Judie's first film role was in the 1984 horror film Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter as Samantha. In 1985, she starred in the hit comedy movie Weird Science as Hilly and in the action movie American Ninja. Her most recent movie is in the 2005 film Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.

Judie also made an appearance in the 1990 music video, (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection by Nelson.
The death of her character in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter was filmed on a cold December night. It was so cold out in the middle of the lake that Judie started crying. Ted White, the stuntman who was playing Jason Voorhees, became angry with director Joseph Zito for being insensitive to her being out in the cold water. She caught hypothermia while filming that scene. White threatened to quit if Zito didn't let Judie out of the water to warm up, and Zito agreed since he didn't have the time or money to find another stunt man as large as White.
