In total, she has appeared in more than 85 films.

Personal life

Wallace-Stone was born Deanna Bowers in Kansas City, Kansas, the daughter of Maxine (née Nichols) and Robert Stanley Bowers.[1][3] Wallace-Stone attended historic Wyandotte High School in Kansas City, Kansas, before attending Kansas University. Wallace-Stone graduated from the University of Kansas with an education degree. She briefly taught high school drama at Washington High School in Kansas City, Kansas, in the early 1970s. She married fellow actor Christopher Stone in 1980, with whom she had one daughter, Gabrielle.

Wallace-Stone appeared in the television series Together We Stand (1986 — 1987) and the syndicated The New Lassie (1989 — 1992). In the latter series, she appeared with her husband Christopher Stone, with whom she also co-starred in Cujo (1983).

Wallace-Stone remains popularly known for her horror film roles.
