Stacey Nelkin (born September 10, 1959) is an American film and television actress. She is well known for her role in the 1982 horror film Halloween III: Season of the Witch as Ellie Grimbridge.[1][2] Her best-known TV role is on the soap opera Generations as Christy Russell in 1990. She also starred as Bonnie Sue Chisholm in four 1979 episodes of the CBS western miniseries The Chisholms. When the series resumed in 1980, she was replaced by Delta Burke in the role of Bonnie Sue.
Nelkin was scheduled to appear in the 1982 cult 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 on in principal photography. Nelkin has made guest appearances in several TV series, including CHiPs, The A-Team, Eight Is Enough, 1st & Ten and Hunter. Nelkin had a screen test for the role of Pris in the 1982 movie Blade Runner, but Daryl Hannah got the part instead. Nelkin's screen test appears on Disc 4 of the collector's edition DVD set.
Nelkin was married to actor Barry Bostwick from 1987 to 1991.
According to Nelkin, the film Manhattan was based on her romantic relationship Woody Allen. Her bit part in Annie Hall ended up on the cutting room floor, and their relationship, though never publicly acknowledged by Allen, began when she was 17 years old and a student at New York’s Stuyvesant High School.[3]
Career as relationship expert
Nelkin embarked on a career as a relationship expert and has her own Youtube channel and website supporting her new career. She wrote a book called “You Can’t Afford to Break Up: How an Empty Wallet and a Dirty Mind Can Save Your Relationship”.[4]
