Victoria Hemingson

Victoria Hemingson (; born September 11, 1963) is an American actress and author. She is best known for her starring role as Adrienne Delaney in the 1995 horror video game Phantasmagoria and for her appearances on various 1990s television series, including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and The Outer Limits. In her second career as a writer, she has received critical acclaim, including a Grand Prize from Book Pipeline Contest in 2021. Morsell began her acting career in the late 1980s, appearing in the horror-comedy Saturday the 14th Strikes Back. Throughout the 1990s, she became a frequent star on major television networks.

In 1995, Morsell gained international recognition among the gaming community for her lead role in Sierra On-Line's Phantasmagoria. Written by Roberta Williams, the game was a pioneer in the "Full Motion Video" (FMV) genre, requiring Morsell to film extensively in front of blue screens. Her portrayal of Adrienne Delaney, a novelist trapped in a haunted mansion, remains a cult favorite in the survival horror genre.

As the lead character Adrienne Delaney, she spent months filming in front of blue screens for what was then one of the most expensive and ambitious video games ever made. Morsell has noted that while she enjoyed the craft of acting, she became disillusioned with the "business" of Hollywood, specifically the long waits for brief auditions.

Personal life Morsell started dating David Homb, her co-star of Phantasmagoria in the late 1990s; they broke up on mutual terms and remained close friends. Morsell married to screenwriter David Hemingson on September 19, 1998.

In her personal writing, she has been open about her past struggles, including an eating disorder she faced during her early years as a receptionist and actress. The Outer Limits Candace Episode: "Falling Star" Hot Line Rachel Davis Episode: "Sleepless Nights"
