Solution: LAUREN HOLLY
The clue answers can be paired with the first names of the body doubles to form names from the original fifteen series of Garbage Pail Kid cards released in the U.S. Every GPK card has a double, another card using the same artwork with a different name. Below are the matched-up answers, their doubles, and their number in the GPK series (some cards have more than the one number listed, but always the same alternate identity).

The GPK doubles all have alliterative names. The initial letters from these names spell out DECANTINPLANKMATERIAL. "Decantin'" is a clue for "Pourin'" and "Plank Material" is a clue for "Wood." Those two answers pair up uniquely in the GPK list to " Pourin' Lauren" and "Holly Wood." This clues actress LAUREN HOLLY.
