Heather Langenkamp
While she was studying at Stanford University, Wes Craven cast her as teen heroine Nancy Thompson in his film "A Nightmare on Elm Street". Craven wanted someone very "non-Hollywood" to play Nancy, and he believed Langenkamp met this quality. She beat out more than 200 actresses auditioning for the part. The film earned $25 million at the American box office. Langenkamp received the Best Actress Award at the Avoriaz Film Festival for her role as Nancy. Langenkamp's next role was Beth Kennerly in the television film "Passions". The same year, she auditioned for the role of Samantha "Sam" Belmont in the science fiction horror comedy film "Night of the Comet", but the part went to Kelli Maroney.
