"Eileen Dietz's ascent from misunderstood child to horror icon."BOOK SYNOPSIS: Eileen Dietz seeks to enlighten young actors attempting to break into the business, clear up misunderstandings about her role in the making of THE EXORCIST, and unleash her own personal demons in her compelling biography.
"Exorcising My Demons" chronicles Eileen's journey through family tragedies to the worlds of theater, TV and film. Eileen navigates through the Hollywood misconceptions of what exactly her role was in THE EXORCIST when the film was released, and includes her celebratory climax with all the horror, thriller, and special effects-laden films that followed.
BEHIND THE STORY: Although having grown up in a rather dysfunctional family caused mostly by her twin sisters' illness, Eileen was able to break into the entertainment business despite her father's strong misgivings. Soon she was attending Summer Stock only to be rejected by the Head of her Syracuse University Drama Dept. Finally, after several false starts, she arrived in New York City to become an actress. Almost immediately she was starring in the popular drive-in attraction TEENAGE GANG DEBS. Soon after came the award-winning DAVID HOLZMAN'S DIARY, and then the starring role in Pulitzer Prize winner Joyce Carol Oates' play "Ontological Proof Of My Existence." This led directly to a screen test for THE EXORCIST, in which she was cast as the demon that possessed Regan which led to the immensely popular icon, the black and white figure known at The Face Of Death, aka Captain Howdy.
In THE EXORCIST, Eileen performed parts of the controversial scenes such as masturbating, vomiting, levitating, and climatically dying at the end. After director William Friedkin brought her to California, Eileen made a break in television including THE PLANET OF THE APES, the Emmy-winning HELTER SKELTER, KORG 70,000 BC, and the daytime drama GENERAL HOSPITAL.
Eileen continues her film work with her latest efforts being Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN 2, FREEWAY KILLER, CONSTANTINE, CREEPSHOW 3. Her many independent films include THE DEVIL KNOWS HIS OWN, SNOW WHITE: DANGEROUS SUMMER, SIN JIN-SMYTH, and THE QUEEN OF SCREAMS.
