Trudy/Friday the 13th

Trudy is a fictional waitress and a minor character featured in the Friday the 13th horror film series. Played by actress Dorothy Kobs, she appeared in the original 1980 introduction to the franchise, Friday the 13th.

Biography
Trudy was a waitress at a diner some twenty miles away from Camp Crystal Lake. In June of 1979, she was speaking with one of her regular customers, Enos, telling him about a specific episode of the TV series Kojak that she must have seen at least eighty-two times. A hitchhiker named Annie Phillips entered the diner and asked how far Camp Crystal Lake was from there. Trudy took a long pause, as if she knew of some of the bizarre things that had happened there in the past and then guessed that it was about twenty miles away. She then asked Enos if he would be willing to take Annie half the way up to the campground.
