MARION RAMSEY
AS
LAVERNE HOOKS
(1–6)
Hooks was the little lady with the big voice, soft spoken until she got angry; her trademark “don’t move dirtbag” became one of the series’ catchphrases. Prior to her Academy appearance, Marion Ramsey had been a series regular on Bill Cosby’s sketch show Cos. It was Police Academy that gave Ramsey her biggest role to the date though and she reprised her role as Hooks for all but the final sequel
Since Police Academy she has made seldom few screen appearances, apart from the odd guest appearance on TV shows, most notably; Beverly Hills Cop 90210 and a couple of recent TV movies.
