Suzi Donaldson

Suszanne "Suzi" Donaldson is a fictional murder victim and a minor character featured in the Friday the 13th film series. Played by actress Tiffany Paulsen, she appeared in the 1989 sequel film Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan.

Biography
Suzi Donaldson was from Wessex County, New Jersey and was born sometime around the year 1970 or 1971. She attended school at Lakeview High School and was dating a guy named Jim Miller.

In the summer of 1989, Suzi and Jim went out on Jim's parents boat, which was docked at Crystal Lake on the Camp Crystal Lake campgrounds. Jim and Suzi had sex in one of the cabins of the boat. Afterward, Jim went to pull up the anchor, which got snagged on an underground electrical capable. Continued pulling caused the cable to discharge an arc of electricity, which resurrected Jason Voorhees, whose body had been submerged at the bottom of the lake.

Unaware of this, Jim decided to play a prank on Suzi. He grabbed a hockey mask and a collapsible knife and surprised Suzi, pretending to be Jason Voorhees. She was made at first, but quickly forgave him and the two climbed back into bed.

Jason Voorhees meanwhile, climbed aboard the boat and took up his favorite face covering. He also grabbed a spear gun that he found in one of the rooms. He entered the cabin where Suzi and Jim were having sex. Suzi was the first to notice him and began shouting. Jason fired a spear at her, but missed. Suzi scrambled out the cabin window, while Jim tried to defend himself. He took the weapon and stabbed Jim through the stomach with it, killing him.

Jason pursued Suzi topside and trapped her in a basin. He rammed the spear gun into her stomach, killing her.
