In 1981, Amy made her film debut in the film Fat Chance before being cast as Ginny Field in the horror film Friday the 13th Part 2. She won the part through an audition and it went on to become one of her most recognizable performances. The film was a financial success, earning over $21 million at the box office. She stated that filming the window scene was an exhausting experience. She was offered the chance to reprise the role for the third film in the long-running series, but was hesitant because she feared being typecast and was persuaded to turn it down by her agent at the time. She does however make a brief cameo appearance on a news report shown in the film.
