In 1973, she attended Westtown School and later joined the Barley-Sheaf Players for a short period before leaving to pursue college studies. She completed her education at Kent School in Kent, Connecticut. In 1986, she married Peter Pulitzer, becoming known professionally at times as Amy Steel Pulitzer. She is the mother of two daughters and currently works as a licensed marriage and family therapist, managing a private practice that specializes in adolescent and mid-life transitions.
Amy Steel gained significant attention for her role as Ginny Field in the horror film Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981). Although she was invited to reprise her role in the third installment, her agent advised against it. She returned to the horror genre in 1986 with another cult classic, April Fool’s Day, in which she played Kit Graham. Throughout her acting career, Amy appeared in several films, including Walk Like a Man (1987), What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1991, TV movie), Perry Mason: The Case of Reckless Romeo (1992), Play Nice (1992), Ray Alexander: A Taste of Justice (1994), The Innocent (1994), Abandoned and Deceived (1995), Valerie Flake (1999), Tycus (1999), A Time to Remember (2003), and Tales of Poe (2014).
In addition to film, Amy Steel appeared in various television series. She had early roles in daytime and prime-time television, including an appearance on All My Children in 1980. She later starred in The Powers of Matthew Star (1982–1983) and had a guest role in the popular sitcom Family Ties (1983).
Family Ties was a popular American sitcom that aired on NBC from September 22, 1982, to May 14, 1989. Created by Gary David Goldberg, the show highlighted the cultural shift in America from the liberal ideals of the 1960s and 1970s to the conservative values of the 1980s. This generational contrast was embodied in the dynamic between Alex P. Keaton (played by Michael J. Fox), a young conservative, and his former-hippie parents. The series was critically acclaimed, with Michael J. Fox receiving three consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.
