Nancy Allen on Vicki Abelson's The Road Taken

One the most delightful conversations I've ever had... Nancy Allen is as adorable to chat with as she is to behold. A fellow Bronx girl––kindred spirit, she went to the school I coveted––there's a story! Nancy’s first film was The Last Detail with Jack Nicholson’s as his reluctant date… what a way to start a career… from there she went on to Carrie, coupled with John Travolta, who she reteamed with in Blow Out. Dressed to Kill earned her a Golden Globe Nomination. Nancy was nominated for Saturn Best Actress Awards for The Philadelphia Experiment and Robo Cop. Another dozen-plus movies followed, plus appearances on television on The Commish, Judging Amy and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit to name a few. Nancy serves as executive director of the weSPARK Cancer Support Center. It's now her life's work. One of our Women Who Write sisters recently found great comfort there. What an inspiration! We had so much fun. Promise, it's contagious.
