Her first role was in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) as Clorette DePasto, the 13-year-old daughter of shady Mayor Carmine DePasto (portrayed by Cesare Danova).

She is best known in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) as Clorette DePasto, the 13-year-old daughter of shady Mayor Carmine DePasto; Holcomb was age 19 when filming began in October, 1977.[citation needed]
Following Animal House, she had roles in other films, including Caddyshack and The Blue Brothers, released in 1980. She was cast in Jaws 2 (1978), but was one of several teenage actors let go as that film went through many script revisions early in production.[1] She retired from acting in 1996.
Animal House co-writer Chris Miller said "She was young, younger than the rest of us. We were a fast crowd. Drugs were everywhere. She fell into what, for lack of a better term, you would have to call bad company."[2]
The character Dorri Lawrence in the film Stateside, an actress who suffers from schizophrenia, is based on Holcomb.[3]
