	Actors - Nancy Allen

Nancy Allen (born June 24, 1950 in New York City, New York) is an American film actress and a native of New York. Her best-known films are Blow Out
, Dressed to Kill
and the RoboCop cycle
.

Brian De Palma, second of Allen's three husbands, directed her in Blow Out
(1981); Dressed to Kill
(1980); Home Movies (1979); and in Carrie
(1976), where she portrayed antagonistic teenager Chris Hargensen.

Other credits include a small role opposite Jack Nicholson in The Last Detail
(1973), and Robert Zemeckis’ first feature film I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978).

After her divorce from De Palma, her film career went into a noticeable decline. Some have suggested/joked that her divorce from De Palma divorced her from good films, though she did go on to co-star in 1987's Robocop, where she played the title character's durable female partner Anne Lewis. In more recent years, she had a small but notable role in 1998's Out of Sight
, directed by Steven Soderbergh.
