She's probably best known for her role as Kelly Maxwell in the Evil Dead franchise. She played the role in the show Ash vs. Evil Dead, as well as the video game Evil Dead: The Game.

But late night TV fans remember her as one of the funniest characters to ever hold a regular position on a network show. With her role as Beth, the CBS Executive on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, DeLorenzo became one of the highlights of the show.

Beth was a fictional authority figure on the show, often clashing with Craig Ferguson over his content, attitude, and language. Much of their dialog was improvised in front of a live audience, making their interactions even more impressive in context.

DeLorenzo appeared on screen with Ferguson during show opens, and would remain on stage with an open mic to contribute to the show's dialog. She would interrupt his monologues, cut him off during rants, and would even get involved in some interviews. Beth was solicit loud laughter from the live audience, and developed a strong online following. She truly became an underrated legend during her late night TV time.

In addition to playing Beth, DeLorenzo also voiced Sandra the Rhino on the show.

Though some of the guests do not do pictures at their tables, and only do Pro Photo Ops.
