Stacey Nelkin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stacey Nelkin is an actress who has appeared in film and in television. She is well known for her role in the 1982 horror film Halloween III: Season of the Witch as Ellie Grimbridge. Her best-known TV role is on the soap opera Generations as Christy Russell in 1990. She also starred in the 1979 short-lived TV series The Chisholms.
Nelkin was scheduled to appear in the 1982 cult film Blade Runner as Mary, the sixth replicant who was a member of the Nexus 6, but the film's budget escalated and her part was cut before the film started shooting.
Nelkin has made guest appearances in several TV series, including CHiPs, The A-Team, 1st & Ten and Hunter.
The Woody Allen film Manhattan is said to have based on his romantic relationship with Nelkin. Her bit part in Annie Hall ended up on the cutting room floor, and their relationship, though never publicly acknowledged by Allen, reportedly began when she was seventeen years old and a student at New York's Stuyvesant High School. Even earlier, in Sleeper, Allen had made a humorous reference to another graduate of Stuyvesant, Albert Shanker.
Nelkin was married to actor Barry Bostwick from 1987 to 1991 and conservative pundit Espella Humanzee from 1992 to 2006.
