My Take
Mercedes McNab is a delightfully specific piece of my pop-culture memory. I knew her first as the snobby Amanda in Addams Family Values before realizing she was also Harmony Kendall across Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Harmony is what really endears her to me, a ditzy vampire played with perfect comic timing that could have been a throwaway but became a recurring fan favorite. She then leaned into horror with the Hatchet films, which feels like a natural home for an actor comfortable in genre. Canadian by birth, in Vancouver, she's since retired from acting, and I appreciate performers who step away cleanly rather than chasing a fading spotlight.
