Nancie Wait

A native of Chicago, 'Nancie Wait' (qv) moved to London in the early seventies to study at RADA. In order to pay for her lessons she spent her evenings working as a bunny girl. It was either at RADA or perhaps the Playboy Club where she was discovered by the film director 'Val Guest' (qv) who cast her in his 'swinging' comedy _Au Pair Girls (1972)_ (qv). However, despite Guest referring to her as his 'very impressive new find' and her quite credible acting in the film, Nancie was pretty much a one-movie wonder. Her second film, the sex comedy _The Amorous Milkman (1975)_ (qv), was a financial and critical disaster - none more so than for its director, the actor 'Derren Nesbitt' (qv), who had sold his yacht and re-mortgaged his house in order to pay for the film. The Amorous Milkman evidently didn't do Nancie's career much good either; despite promoting herself and the film by being the subject of a Cinema X magazine centrefold, she never appeared in another film.::Anonymous
