Stacey Nelkin (born September 10, 1959) is an American film and television actress.

Career

Nelkin starred as Bonnie Sue Chisholm in four episodes of the CBS western miniseries The Chisholms (1979). When the series resumed in 1980, she was replaced by Delta Burke in the role of Bonnie Sue.

She became well known for her role in the horror film Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) as Ellie Grimbridge.[1][2] Around the same time, Nelkin was scheduled to appear in the film Blade Runner as Mary, a sixth Nexus-6 replicant that escapes from "off-world" and comes to Earth, but budget cuts resulted in her part being cut from the film early in the period of principal photography. She had done a screen test for the role of Pris in Blade Runner as well, but Daryl Hannah got the part instead. Nelkin's screen test appears on Disc 4 of the collector's edition DVD set. Nelkin has made guest appearances in several TV series, including CHiPs, The A-Team, Eight Is Enough, 1st & Ten and Hunter.

Her best-known TV role was on the soap opera Generations (1990) as Christy Russell.

Personal life

According to Nelkin, Woody Allen's film Manhattan (1979) was based on her romantic relationship with the director, whom she met when she was 16 on the set of Annie Hall. Her bit part in that film ended up on the cutting room floor, and their relationship began when she was 17 years old and a student at New York’s Stuyvesant High School, and Allen was 42.[3] Allen has said that they dated for a time, but that Nelkin was not underage.[4]

Nelkin was married to actor Barry Bostwick from 1987 to 1991. She has been married three times.

Career as relationship expert

Nelkin is a self-styled "relationship expert" and has her own YouTube channel and website. She wrote a book called You Can’t Afford to Break Up: How an Empty Wallet and a Dirty Mind Can Save Your Relationship.[5] She is frequently called on by the program Fox & Friends.
