Biography

Karin Mani had a regrettably fleeting acting career that lasted from the late 70s up until the mid 80s. Karin started out with a guest appearance on an episode of the TV show "What's Happening!". She subsequently popped up in the epic TV mini-series "From Here to Eternity" and made her film debut with a small part as a Social Services office worker in the comedy "Utilities." Mani gave a lively and impressive performance in her sole starring role as Billie, a feisty take-charge ace martial artist who declares open war on various low-life criminal scum in the enjoyably trashy female exploitation vigilante opus "Alley Cat." Karin's last movie credit was a brief, yet still memorable turn as ill-fated undercover cop Janie Soon Lee in the fun sequel "Avenging Angel." Outside of her sparse acting gigs, Karin Mani also worked as a script supervisor on the nifty sci-fi/horror "Alien" copy "Creature."
