The most beautiful actress in the world, and for me in 1994 she looked even so much prettier than in 1984, anyway she is still so lovely

[Sinstar94]

One of the most underrated actresses around.

@lilrockercutie2005 Yes, Nancy was a great character. Smart, fragile yet tough, when necessary, and very very likeable. But still it was Freddy who became a cult superstar all over the world, what actually Heather refers to in her documentary. Was she too normal to become people's favourite? :)

[lilrockercutie2005]

@tyeelkins I agree with you about the remake! They turned Nancy into a complete wuss! I mean, come on, look at the original! Nancy was setting up booby traps and actually going after him!

@GeRafi1 The documentary about the Nightmare movies, which I'm sure you know about, has a lot of info on the movies along with just about all the actors being interviewed. Heather actually served as executive producer of that doc. Plus, the original DVDs of the Nightmare series have a lot of interesting cast and crew information. That documentary I Am Nancy is one I'd like to get my hands on too. Nancy is probably my favorite character in the Nightmare series next to Kristen in 3 and Alice in 4.

@GeRafi1 I knew about her film career being modest. Not long after Nightmare 3, she was on a series called "Just The Ten Of Us", along with 2 other girls from the "Nightmare" series. Because there were 3 girls from those movies, it was kind of a running joke on the show. Nightmare wasn't Heather's debut actually though. She had a couple bit parts in "The Outsiders" and "Rumble Fish", but Francis Ford Coppola cut her footage out of both movies.

@lilrockercutie2005 I meant her acting career. Her filmography beside "Nightmares..." is very modest. Didn't know about her other activities though. Nevertheless I wish she had acted more in 'nightmare days', as she's past her prime now (by twisted Hollywood standards). Anyway I would like to see the documentary "I am Nancy", which I only read about.

[lilrockercutie2005]

@GeRafi1 She made it big in Hollywood in her own way. The last Nightmare she did, which was Wes Craven's New Nightmare, there's a lot of elements in that script that were based off her life. She really was married to an effects guy and had a little boy. Her and her husband's fx company have done some pretty big things. Heather was in charge of effects on Evan Almighty.

I Miss Heather Langenkamp you bist the best You and Robert Englund-Freedy

[RedbullSW]

Her carisma makes the movie

[GeRafi1]

Loved her in "Nightmares...". Too bad she never made it really big in Hollywood. She is so cute! :-))
