After her appearance in Poltergeist in 1982, Heather had a recurring role as Fonzie’s girlfriend’s daughter on Happy Days. She also starred in Poltergeist II in 1986 and started production of Poltergeist III in 1987.

In 1987, Heather was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, an autoimmune disease that affects the bowels. Her medical treatments seemed to be successfully, but she began to be ill again in 1988. She was rushed to the hospital and suffered a cardiac arrest. Her medical team found a bowel obstruction and operated, but Heather would not fully recover and passed away on February 1, 1987 due to septic shock.

By the end of filming, Capra and his producer, Dino DeLaurentiis decided that this town was the perfect place for a movie studio which they built. Over the years the studio has changed hands several times, but it still survives. Wilmington residents claim that the film and the studio have made for a great arts environment. A local film, art and beer tasting event is held each year in May. Wilmington is also still a great place to shoot a film.

She was supposedly discovered at a skating rink at the age of 5 and because of her small size, she was cast in roles for younger children. Unfortunately, her father, an unemployed plumber, suffered from paranoia and delusions. He would often emotional abuse Judith and her mother. The family often had no money and were on welfare for a time. By 1986, Judith was making over $100,000 a year and the family bought a small three bedroom home in California. Judith's father built a fence around the home that was locked and could only be opened from the inside.

Judith's father threatened to kill Judith and her mother numerous times and child protective services were called. The mother, however, refused to press charges and the threats were never followed up by the agency.

On July 27, 1988, firefighters were called to a fire at the Barsi home. Judith and her mother had been shot in the head and doused in gasoline and the house set on fire. Judith's father was found in the garage with a self-inflicted gun shot wound, also dead.

Judith was the original voice of Ducky in The Land Before Time (1988) and also appeared in Fatal Vision, Jaws, The Revenge and All Dogs Go to Heaven (voice of Anne-Marie). She also appeared in numerous television roles.

It is too bad that the movie studios are more interested in investor relations then they are in the well being of their actors.
