Locane was in the original cast of Melrose Place.

Among Locane's film roles, she played Johnny Depp's love interest in John Waters' 1990 cult-classic film Cry-Baby. She also twice played the girlfriend of Brendan Fraser, in the films School Ties and Airheads, as well as Jessica Lange's daughter in the 1994 film Blue Sky.

Personal life

In 2008, Locane married Mark Bovenizer, a local businessman and volunteer firefighter from New Jersey.[1] They have two daughters, born in January 2007 and January 2009.[2] In April 2011, at the age of two, their younger daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's, a chronic gastrointestinal disease.[3] After her marriage, Locane retired from films and acted mainly in local community theater.[4]

On June 27, 2010, Locane was involved in a fatal motor vehicle collision in Montgomery, New Jersey.[5][6]

Locane's attorneys say that Locane, in the hospital after the accident, was given 2mg of Ativan, an anti-anxiety medication, and may have suffered an undiagnosed head injury in the crash. [7] In December 2010, Locane was indicted for aggravated manslaughter and assault by automobile.[8]
