Nancy Anne Allen (born June 24, 1950) is a retired American actress. She came to prominence for her performances in several films directed by Brian De Palma in the 1970s and early 1980s. Her accolades include a Golden Globe Award nomination, and three Saturn Award nominations.
The daughter of a New York City police officer, Allen was raised in the Bronx, and attended the High School of Performing Arts, aspiring to have a career as a dancer. In her early twenties, she shifted her focus to acting, and relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career there. Her first major role was as Chris Hargensen in Brian De Palma's film adaptation of Carrie (1976). Allen was subsequently cast as the lead in the Robert Zemeckis-directed comedy I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978), followed by a supporting part in Steven Spielberg's 1941 (1979).
Allen married De Palma in 1979, and her subsequent portrayal of a call girl who witnesses a murder in his feature Dressed to Kill (1980) earned her a Golden Globe nomination for New Star of the Year. She then appeared in De Palma's neo-noir film Blow Out (1981), playing a woman implicated in an assassination. Allen and De Palma divorced in 1984, and she appeared in the science fiction films Strange Invaders (1983) and The Philadelphia Experiment (1984), and Abel Ferrara's television film The Gladiator (1986). Allen garnered mainstream fame playing Anne Lewis in Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop (1987), a role she reprised for the two sequels that followed. Other credits include Poltergeist III (1988), Limit Up (1990), and Les patriotes (1994).
Allen retired from acting in 2008, and became involved in anti-cancer activism after her friend, Wendie Jo Sperber, died of breast cancer. In 2010, she was named executive director of the weSPARK Cancer Support Center in Los Angeles, which was founded by Sperber.

Nancy Allen still beautiful, charming and one of the symbols of cinema!
i hope to see her on screen again; she is still very charming.
She will always be remembered for Dressed to Kill, Starman, and Robocop. She still maintains her natural beauty not like other actresses her age who have gone under the machete to try and look better but have had the opposite effect.
It's Karen Allen in Starman, not Nancy ;-)
And she’ll also be remembered for Carrie.
Such a beautiful lady loved her robocop shes a legend
Still Pretty
Hate that she retired from acting
Did that guy say he disavowed Robocop 2 & 3? lol ... tf
@eric Dubwaaa it's not for him to "disavow" he didn't even work on those films
I got to agree with her. RoboCop 2 just felt very mean-spirited compared to the first one.
