Judith Barsi was an American child actress. She and her mother, Maria, were killed in July 1988 in a double murder–suicide committed in their home by her father, József Barsi.

As Judith’s career success increased, her father József, an alcoholic, became increasingly angry and would routinely threaten to kill himself, his wife, and daughter. His drinking led to him being arrested three times for drunk driving. In December 1986, Maria reported his threats and physical violence toward her to the police. After the police found no physical signs of abuse she decided not to press charges against him. After the incident with the police, József reportedly stopped drinking, but continued to threaten Maria and Judith. His various threats included cutting their throats as well as burning down the house. He also reportedly hid a telegram informing Maria that a relative in Hungary had died in an attempt to prevent her from leaving the United States with Judith. The physical violence continued, with Judith telling a friend that her father threw pots and pans at her, resulting in a nosebleed. As a result of her abuse, Judith began gaining weight and developed compulsive behaviors, such as plucking out her eyelashes, and pulling out her cat's whiskers. In May 1988, after breaking down in front of her agent, Ruth Hansen, Judith was taken by Maria to a child psychologist, who identified severe physical and emotional abuse and reported her findings to child protective services.

On July 28, 1988, the Los Angeles Times reported that three people were found dead in an apparent murder–suicide and that the bodies were believed to be those of Judith, her mother Maria, and her father József. The article quoted Police Lt. Warren Knowles as saying a flammable liquid, likely gasoline, had been poured on the bodies of Maria and Judith by József. József's body was found in the garage, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Neighbor Eunice Daly said that she heard a gunshot around 8:30 a.m. on July 27, prompting her to call the police. Judith and her mother were buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in adjoining plots.

Judith provided the voices for Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go to Heaven, and Ducky in Land Before Time. "Love Survives", the end credits song and overall theme song of All Dogs Go to Heaven, was dedicated to Judith.

Judith’s gravestone contains her Land Before Time catchphrase ("Yep! Yep! Yep!") and an allusion to the Martina McBride song "Concrete Angel."
