	Actors - Judith Barsi

Judith Eva Barsi (June 6, 1978 - July 25, 1988) was an American actress and was a victim of a murder suicide.

Judith Barsi was born in Los Angeles, California on June 6, 1978.

When Judith was born, her mother dreamt of her becoming an actress, as she once made an effort to do so herself. When Judith was five years old she was "discovered" at a skating rink. Looking younger than she was, she was mistaken for a three year old. She was immediately put into commercials (by the end of her life she had appeared in over seventy of them) and soon was in films.

As Judith became more famous her father, an alcoholic, became abusive and paranoid. Her father would mentally abuse Judith and once held a knife to her throat. He was convinced his wife and daughter would leave for a photo shoot or movie shoot and never come back so he would threaten Judith before she would leave.

Judith's mother rented an apartment for her and Judith as a daytime safe haven away from her father. However, on July 25, Judith's father entered her bedroom and shot Judith in her head. Judith's mother heard the gun shot and came running down the hall where she was met by her father; he then shot his wife. He then drenched the bodies in gasoline and set the house on fire before finally shooting himself in the garage.

Judith and her mother were buried in an unmarked grave at the Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills cemetery in Los Angeles. In June 2004, a fund was set up to get Judith and her mother headstones. Judith's marker was placed Monday August 23, 2004 and her mother's was placed Friday January 28, 2005. Future donations will go toward donating Beanie Babies to hospitalized children.
