It has been 40 years since ’80s film star Amanda Wyss played the unforgettable character Tina Gray of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which was the first to get murdered by Robert Englund’s Freddy Krueger. Amanda recently reunited with her co-stars during the movie’s anniversary, and one could not help but notice how gorgeous she looked.

She posed with Robert, Lin Shaye, Jsu Garcia, and Heather Langenkamp to celebrate four decades since being on set together and posted the moment to her Instagram. The 62-year-old looked like a teenager as she rocked a pair of jeans and a top that showed off her toned, slim figure.

She auditioned for a different role

Unknown to most, Amanda had an eye for playing Nancy Thompson. However, she landed a supporting role as Tina, with Heather taking the lead as Nancy instead. Amanda has no regrets about the part she ended up with, as it put her further on the map in Hollywood.

Aside from acting, the 62-year-old lives a private life but loves to travel and share her experiences with her Instagram followers. She has been to a few countries, including Italy and Switzerland, in the past few months and enjoyed some time on the beach, too.
