Elizabeth "Betsy" Russell (born September 6, 1963) is an American actress who is best known for her roles in Private School (1983), Tomboy (1985), and as Jill Tuck, one of the primary characters of the Saw film series from 2006 to 2010.

Russell was born in San Diego, California, the daughter of Constance (née Lerner) and Richard Lion Russell, a stock analyst, and the granddaughter of journalist and educator Max Lerner. Her father and maternal grandfather were Jewish. Russell wanted to be an actress since the age of eight and started acting in school plays. She appeared in a Pepsi commercial that was taped locally while in high school. After graduating from Mission Bay High School in 1981, she moved to Los Angeles and began taking acting classes before landing her first role. She did a masters program in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica and is a certified hypnotist and life coach, also from the University of Santa Monica.

Russell's first role was in the 1982 film Let's Do It! That same year, she landed roles on T. J. Hooker, Family Ties, and The Powers of Matthew Star. In 1983, Russell's breakout role came as Jordan Leigh-Jensen in the sex comedy Private School. While shooting the action film Avenging Angel, she was offered to audition for the 1985 film Silverado but turned it down. She said in an interview, "Everything happens for a reason. I always believe my career would have been different had I done that part. I can't say if it would have been better or worse. I’ve had a great run." She went on to star in a series of B movies in the 1980s, including the comedy Tomboy and the slasher film Cheerleader Camp. Russell also appeared on TV series such as The A-Team, Murder, She Wrote, 1st & Ten, and an episode of Superboy, which was a reunion with her Tomboy co-star Gerard Christopher.

Russell resides in Malibu, California.

In August 1988, Russell was engaged to actor Vincent Van Patten, son of Dick Van Patten. They were married nine months later on May 27, 1989, in North Hollywood. Their wedding reception was at Van Patten's father's Sherman Oaks home which was attended by numerous A-list celebrities. They divorced in 2001 and have two sons: Richard Van Patten (March 1993) and Vincent Van Patten, Jr. (September 3, 1995) Russell was previously engaged to film producer Mark Burg.

After a brief retirement from acting, Russell appeared in a small role in Saw III playing John Kramer's ex-wife, Jill Tuck. She went on to star in the sequels, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, and Saw 3D. She played a role in the 2010 film Chain Letter, the SyFy film Mandrake, and My Trip Back to the Dark Side.

Cindi Dietrich's allure, sultry nature, and striking appearance launched her career in the early 1980s, yet by its conclusion, fame had eluded her grasp. Despite this, she did appear in several notable films during her tenure. Her debut role was in Burt Reynolds' 1983 film "The Man Who Loved Women," followed by minor parts in "St. Elmo's Fire," "Made in USA," and "Death Spa," which marked the end of her acting career. Fortunately, she left an enduring mark with a lengthy topless scene in the 1985 film "Out of Control," redeeming what was otherwise a lackluster movie. This scene, complemented by appealing shots of Betsy Russell, makes the film somewhat worthwhile for those who appreciate such moments. For those craving more of Cindi, there are additional TV roles to explore: she played a part in the miniseries "Nutcracker: Money, Madness, and Murder" and appeared in the 1987 TV movie "Mistress." Though her roles may not showcase her physical assets, imaginative viewers can still appreciate her allure. Her confident presence alone is enough to captivate audiences, even if her career did not embrace the scandalous nature suggested by her name. One can only hope for her return to bring back that promised sinful charm.
