Pretty, perky and appealing brunette actress Nancy Kyes had a regrettably brief acting career; she appeared in three excellent features for director John Carpenter in which she acted under the name of Nancy Loomis. She was born on December 19, 1949 in Falls Church, Virginia. Nancy attended high school in Riverside, California and studied theater at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Nancy made a solid film debut as whiny secretary Julie in the tough and exciting urban action thriller "Assault on Precinct 13." (Kyes also worked behind the scenes on this picture as the wardrobe mistress.) She gave a wonderfully funny and lively performance as feisty babysitter Annie Brackett in the outstanding seasonal slasher classic "Halloween." Kyes was once again fine and impressive as Janet Leigh's sassy assistant Sandy Fadel in the superior supernatural shocker "The Fog." Nancy had a small role as Tom Atkins' bitter ex-wife Linda in the unjustly maligned "Halloween III: Season of the Witch." Kyes has tiny parts in the made-for-TV movies "Not in Front of the Children" and "Lady Boss." Her sole TV show credit was on the "Little Boy Lost" episode of the mid 80s revival of "The Twilight Zone." Nancy Kyes now works as a sculptress in Los Angeles.
