As a natural talent, Ashley started seeking minor roles, and before she got the role of Kirsty, she was Brenda Clegg in the TV series “Capitol” (1984-1985), and Genna in the TV series “Highway to Heaven” in 1986.

The next year she starred in the sequel “Hellbound: Hellraiser II”, and in 1992 repeated the role in the third installment “Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth”.

With the success of the films, Ashley found a place for herself in the horror genre of Hollywood, though she also made several other appearances.

In 1994 she was Cathryn Farrell in the horror film “Lurking Fear” (1994), co-starring Jon Finch and Blake Adams, while she also starred in the action-thriller film “Felony”, with Jeffrey Combs and Leo Rossi.

She finished the decade with the lead role of Kris Miller in the horror “Warlock III: The End of Innocence” (1999).

Career Decline

With the start of the 2000s, Ashley wasn’t that much invested in her acting career, which resulted in a natural decline. Though she still made a few notable appearances, remaining true to the honor genre.

However, first she was Dakota in the family-drama film “Gentle Ben” in 2002, starring Dean Cain, Corbin Bernsen and William Katt, and the same year she reprised the role of Kirsty Cotton again in the horror “Hellraiser: Hellseeker”, though this time it was directed by Rick Bota instead of Clive Barker. The following year, she again portrayed Dakota in “Gentle Ben 2: Black Gold”, while in 2004 she starred as Jenny Graves in the drama film “Lightning Bug”, written and directed by Robert Hall. By the end of the 2000s, Ashley had made several other appearances, including as Mrs McCormack in the thriller film “Red” in 2008, while in 2009, Ashley featured in the music video for the song “Snuff”, performed by American heavy metal band Slipknot.
