Violet Fackler knows that her husband Doug has a tendency to slip up and create mayhem. In one memorable scene from the first "Police Academy," she jumps on the hood of her husband's car to prevent him from driving to the academy sign-ups, only to get hurt in the process. By the third film, Violet Fackler is a police recruit, too.

"Police Academy" is an iconic '80s movie, and Debralee Scott (who played Violet Fackler) was an iconic television personality in her day: She made frequent appearances on the celebrity-powered game shows of the era, including "Chain Reaction," "Match Game," and "Password Plus." As a young actor, she had a recurring role on "Welcome Back, Kotter," playing the tough teen Rosalie "Hotsy" Totsie, and she also played the title character's sister, Cathy Shumway, on the soap spoof "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman."

Scott's career came to an end not long after she reprised the role of Violet Fackler (now a cadet) in 1986's "Police Academy 3: Back in Training." She focused on her personal life and became engaged to New York City police officer Dennis Levi, who died at the World Trade Center during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to Contact Music. Scott's family reported that the tragedy sent the retired actor into a depression that led her to drink heavily, which resulted in cirrhosis of the liver. Scott died in April 2005 at age 52.
