In later life Marilyn Burns made cameos in other iterations of the Massacre franchise.

She was an unnamed “patient on gurney” in 1994’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, a film notable for providing early roles to future Oscar winners Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey.

Marilyn Burns also appeared briefly in 2013’s Texas Chainsaw 3D, both as a character called Verna and in footage from Tobe Hooper’s original.

Her other films included Tobe Hooper’s 1977 film Eaten Alive, about a hotel owner who feeds his guests to his pet crocodile.

Marilyn Burns remains best known for her role in the original Chain Saw Massacre as the sole survivor of Leatherface’s psychotic rampage.
