The character’s name remains unknown to this day. Kathy Lamkin was mostly popular for her appearance as Tea Lady in The Texas Chainsaw franchise (Image via E. Charbonneau/Getty Images)The Tea Lady was a dark-haired woman in her 40s who was morbidly obese. She lived in the town of Fuller in Travis County, Texas, in the 1960s and 70s. It is possible that she may have been a member of the Hewitt family or an associate. It seems like she was aware of the Hewitt family’s distasteful practices but never revealed anything.The Tea Lady was seen in the company of Henrietta Hewitt and Luda May Hewitt. She visited the Hewitt residence in 1969 when one of their victims, Dean, pushed her against the door to block Tommy Hewitt from pursuing him. She visited Henrietta’s trailer a few years later when a woman named Erin began pounding on the door, asking for help.The character was created by director Marcus Nispel and screenwriter Scott Kosar. She loved chocolate and cooed when she heard that Luda May liked to add coconut to her chocolate recipes.Netizens pay tribute on TwitterTwitter was flooded with tributes when people heard about Kathy Lamkin's death:DelDjango@DjangoDelrio96The 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it's 2006 prequel The Beginning were some of the best adaptations in the Texas Chainsaw franchise ever and it's always sad to hear when another dear cast member has passed away, RIP kathy lamkin #horror11:41 AM · Apr 11, 20223The 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and it's 2006 prequel The Beginning were some of the best adaptations in the Texas Chainsaw franchise ever and it's always sad to hear when another dear cast member has passed away, RIP kathy lamkin #horror https://t.co/Q134fJayVJℂoηs†aη†iηe ✊🏿🇺🇦@K0nstantine1313Sad to hear about Kathy Lamkin.
