Biography

Deborah Reed (née Deborah Claire Hansen) was an actress, model, author and educator. She is most well known for her role as Creedence Leonore Gielgud in the 1990 cult classic fantasy horror film Troll 2.

Born on October 29th, 1950, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Reed dabbled in drama during her high school years and appeared in the unreleased film Educated Heart with Anthony Geary and Anne Archer. After her family migrated to Spokane, Washington in 1970, she began performing in musical theater, as well as directing and writing for the stage. In 1980, she was picked up by the McCarty Agency and spent the next few decades as a print model, makeup artist and actor in various advertisements. For 15 years, she also taught classes for children aspiring to break into the entertainment industry. In 1989, she was cast in Claudio Fragasso's Troll 2, which would become her defining acting role. From 1997 to 2000, she was Executive Assistant to U.S. Congressman Merrill Cook, where she headed the Bicentennial Local Legacies project for Utah's Native American community and co-hosted Cook's radio show, creating commercial spots for the program. In the mid-2000s, she married radio personality Randy Holman and the couple formed a production company, On Fire Productions, and hosted the television series It's All About Homes, until Holman's death from cancer in 2012. In her later years, she became an author of children's books, as well as an advocate for shelter animals and eco-friendly living. She ran the blog Deba Do Tell and the Facebook page Go Green with the Troll 2 Queen, and would regularly interact with her fans. In 2017, Reed was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, which later evolved into Richter's Syndrome. She died on November 18th, 2023, due to complications of cancer. Deborah was the mother of artist/animator Gavin Reed and software engineer Remington Reed, founders of Hey Bud Games.
