She is best known for portraying Alice Hardy in the Friday the 13th franchise—appearing in Friday the 13th (1980), Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), and the fan film Jason Rising (2021). In 2023, showrunner Bryan Fuller confirmed King would have an undisclosed recurring role in his upcoming Friday the 13th Peacock prequel series Crystal Lake.
After starring in the original Friday the 13th, King became the target of a stalker and retired from acting for three decades—beginning her career as an ADR looper and developing her skills as an artist. In 2010, she returned to acting in the low-budget horror film Psychic Experiment. King followed this with roles in The Butterfly Room (2012), Tales of Poe (2014), and Killer Therapy (2019). King is the narrator of the audiobook of Grady Hendrix's novel The Final Girl Support Group (2021).
