The Writing King Your Ethical Ghostwriter. Your Story, Done Right.

Actor: Nancy Allen

Nancy Allen appeared in Carrie, Blow Out and Dressed to Kill for Brian De Palma, to whom she was married, and Blow Out gives her the best of those roles.

RoboCop and its sequels gave her Anne Lewis, a partner written as a competent officer instead of a love interest, which was less common than it should have been.

She retired from acting in the 2000s and has since worked in cancer support organizations, which followed her own experience.

RoboCop (1987, 1990, 1993, 2014)

RoboCop is the satirical action franchise that established the cybernetic-cop subgenre and one of the most accomplished critiques of late-1980s corporate. Paul Verhoeven directed the 1987 original.

RoboCop (1987) Review

RoboCop is a better film than its premise suggests and a more subversive one than its marketing implied. Paul Verhoeven made a corporate satire inside a violent action film, and the two registers enhance each other instead of competing.
