Heather Elizabeth Langenkamp (born July 17, 1964) is an American actress, filmmaker, businesswoman, and radio personality.

Her accolades include two Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, a Sitges Film Festival Time Machine Award, and two Young Artist Award nominations.

While studying at Stanford University, Langenkamp made her debut as a leading actress in Drew Denbaum's drama film Nickel Mountain before her breakthrough role as Nancy in Wes Craven's landmark slasher film A Nightmare on Elm Street (both 1984). She reprised her role as Nancy in Chuck Russell's A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987). Langenkamp had a successful television career, with her most well-known credits being on the ABC sitcom Growing Pains and its spin-off Just the Ten of Us (both 1988-1990).

Langenkamp's other notable film and television credits include a starring role as a fictionalized version of herself in the acclaimed meta film Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994), figure skater Nancy Kerrigan in the satirical television film Tonya and Nancy: The Inside Story (1994), an estranged daughter in the horror film The Butterfly Room (2012), an enigmatic hospice owner in Mike Flanagan's Netflix series The Midnight Club (2022), and the neighborhood gossip, Vera, in Flanagan's fantasy drama film The Life of Chuck (2024).

Langenkamp co-owns the visual effects studio AFX Studio with her husband David LeRoy Anderson, where she has worked as a special make-up effects coordinator for films such as Dawn of the Dead (2004), Cinderella Man (2005), Evan Almighty (2007), and The Cabin in the Woods (2012). Langenkamp has been a disc jockey for the Malibu radio station KBUU-LP since the 2010s, going under the pseudonym Sandy Bottoms. [3] She made her directorial debut with the short film Washed Away (2019).

Early life

Heather Elizabeth Langenkamp was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. [4] Her mother, Mary Alice (née Myers), is an artist and an abstract expressionist painter. Her father, Robert Dobie Langenkamp, was a petroleum attorney and a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Energy. She later moved to Washington, D.C., where she attended the National Cathedral School for Girls, graduating in 1982.

Life and career

1983—1984: Early roles and A Nightmare on Elm Street

At age eighteen, Langenkamp worked for the Tulsa Tribune where she saw an advertisement looking for extras for Francis Ford Coppola's The Outsiders in the summer of 1982. [5] Auditions occurred at a nearby elementary school where the casting director took a Polaroid of her; Langenkamp got a call back to appear in a high school scene, in which she had to wear attire based on 1950s fashion. [5] Coppola was shooting another film in Tulsa the same summer, Rumble Fish , after The Outsiders; Langenkamp's friend got a phone call to appear in a street scene, and her friend's mother felt more comfortable with Langenkamp going with her to the set at night. [5] The casting director allowed her to join and gave dialogue to Langenkamp—in which she did several takes of her saying dialogue to Matt Dillon's character; The Outsiders and Rumble Fish did not include her scenes but helped her get into the Screen Actors Guild. [5] These positive experiences made Langenkamp feel like she should attempt to pursue an acting career in Hollywood. [6]

While studying at Stanford University, she would travel to Los Angeles on the weekends to pursue auditions, where she had her first official Hollywood audition for Drew Denbaum's independent drama film Nickel Mountain (1984). [6] While auditioning, her rented car got hit by a runaway truck on Cahuenga Boulevard. [6] Denbaum and the casting director helped Langenkamp during the ordeal. [6] She bonded with them and got cast in the lead role of Callie Wells. [6] She has expressed regret for doing the nude scene as she feared voicing her discomfort while filming—as she was an up-and-coming actress. [7] Her next role was Beth, the daughter of Joanne Woodward and Richard Crenna's characters in the CBS television film Passions (1984). [6] The direction towards her character received praise. [8] Langenkamp reflects, "It was a complex part. Richard plays a philandering husband who has a son with his mistress, so my character was acting like a bridge between these two families." [6]

I really felt like I was gonna just bring myself to the set, and be as close to me as I could. I didn't prepare in the classic sense. I didn't know that was part of the whole thing. I was not a very trained actor at all. I'd taken classes, of course, but I just tried to learn my lines and be on my mark and do those right things.

—Langenkamp on her preparation for portraying Nancy. [9]

Langenkamp became aware of auditions for a horror film known as A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) at the end of 1983. [9] Casting director Annette Benson was familiar to Langenkamp as she had brought her in to read for the lead role in Night of the Comet (1984). [10] She auditioned for the highly sought after role of fifteen-year-old heroine Nancy. [10] There were not enough chairs to accommodate the number of actresses auditioning. [9] Craven stated that he wanted someone very "non-Hollywood" and someone who embodied the "all-American, girl-next-door" for the role and believed that Langenkamp had these qualities. [10] Craven informed her that she got the part in January 1984. [9]

The people in Langenkamp's life told her she would regret starring in a slasher film at the beginning of her career, as it would affect her future acting jobs due to the genre having a stigma attached to it. [11] In 2024, Langenkamp stated, "I have to say, I did suffer that for a few years. But now, 40 years later, I’m definitely very happy that I didn’t listen to anyone.” [11] The film grossed $25.5 million at the United States box-office and was a critical success upon release. [12] In 2021, the Library of Congress inducted A Nightmare on Elm Street into the National Film Registry. [13]

1985—2002: Television and A Nightmare on Elm Street sequels

Following A Nightmare on Elm Street, Langenkamp was initially cast in smaller-scale roles on family-friendly television. [14] [15] In 1985, Langenkamp portrayed Hope Sherman in the NBC television pilot Suburban Beat, the youngest of four housewives living in the fictitious Jericho Downs, who work together to solve crime. [16] In a review for The New York Times , John Corry wrote, "Heather Langenkamp, as the youngest housewife, is particularly adorable, but since she's also amusing, the adorability isn't cloying." [16] The pilot was unsold. [17] The same year, Langenkamp got cast in the music video for ZZ Top's single "Sleeping Bag". [15] Langenkamp later had roles in the ABC Afterschool Special episode "Can a Guy Say No?" and the Emmy Award-winning CBS Schoolbreak Special episode "Have You Ever Tried Talking to Patty?", and had a guest appearance on an episode of the television series Heart of the City (all in 1986). [14]

Following the drastic departure from the original storyline in the sequel A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985), Langenkamp felt the story of the characters from the original film was over. [14] However, in 1986, Langenkamp received a telephone call from Wes Craven informing her that he was considering writing the script for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) and wanted to know if she would agree to sign on to the film if he included her character. [14] She signed on to the production in September 1986. [14] Langenkamp stated, "I was really excited. Nancy was a real adult. She was a woman who was very serious about herself and her life. When she realizes that Freddy’s back, she wastes no time in fighting back." [14] Langenkamp described the Dream Warriors set as intense, attributing this to time constraints and Chuck Russell becoming the director, stating, "With Chuck, the whole filmmaking process has been a bit more narrowed down and precise." [14] However, she liked working with both Craven and Russell and experiencing contrasting directing styles. [14] The film opened to box office success in 1987, grossing over $44 million. [18]

Later, she had a guest appearance as Tracy in the television series The New Adventures of Beans Baxter and Monica on the soap opera Hotel (both in 1987). [19] Langenkamp obtained further recognition when she portrayed lead character Marie Lubbock on the ABC television series Just the Ten of Us , a spin-off of the popular ABC situation comedy Growing Pains (on which she guest-starred), from 1988 to 1990. Langenkamp worked with Craven again for a small cameo appearance as a victim in his supernatural slasher film Shocker (1989). [15] Langenkamp portrayed the figure skater Nancy Kerrigan in the NBC television film Tonya & Nancy: The Inside Story, released in 1994, which focused on Tonya Harding's husband's attack. [20]

In 1994, Craven approached Langenkamp to star in a standalone film in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise that he was writing. [21] The film, set in the real world, would feature Langenkamp portraying a fictionalized version of herself. [21] Langenkamp was hesitant to sign on to the production due to the premise and was unsure how the film would be received. [21] However, she agreed after having conversations with Craven. On the film, Langenkamp stated "It's a really interesting concept, and it's one of the only horror movies where the monster's really in the background, at least until the end. But it's all about our mentality about fear." [22] Wes Craven's New Nightmare was released in 1994, and opened to critical praise, [23] being cited as an influential "metahorror" film. Joe Leydon of Variety stated that she "proves she is still one of cinema’s most resourceful scream queens here." [24] Langenkamp became pregnant with her daughter during the final stages of filming for New Nightmare and attests that after this production, she struggled to put in the effort required for a successful acting career while balancing family life, resulting in a hiatus in pursuing roles. [25]

Langenkamp starred in Robert Kurtzman's low-budget superhero film The Demolitionist (1995). [26] In 1997, she portrayed housewife Lou Ann Solomon under the pursuit of shapeshifting aliens in an episode of the short-lived science fiction horror television series Perversions of Science . [27] She later starred in the direct-to-video film Fugitive Mind (1999). [28] Langenkamp played Janet Thompson in an episode of JAG (2002). [15]

2003—2009: Acting setbacks

After her appearance on JAG , Langenkamp took an extensive break from acting to focus on her family. [29] [15] Langenkamp reunited with Wes Craven for a small role as a reporter in the Dimension Films werewolf horror comedy film Cursed (2005), which would be her only film role in the 2000s. [30] [15] The film had a troubled production, and Langenkamp's scenes were deleted from the final version of the film. [15] In the early 2000s, Langenkamp and her second husband, David LeRoy Anderson, discussed launching a chewing gum business. [31] They spent six months researching and developing. [31] Malibu Gum Factory launched in February 2001 with 30,000 packs of peppermint-flavored chewing gum featuring a collectible trading card and water safety tips. [31] Rather than featuring photographs of celebrities, they wanted the cards to feature regular people of Malibu, which proved popular with residents. [31]

2010—2021: Resurgence

On her post-A Nightmare on Elm Street career: ”Women my age, you go through this decade of getting offered terrible, boring roles that don’t have anything to do with the plot. You’re just an accoutrement. It’s been such a wasteland for me.” [15] In an effort to restart her acting career, Langenkamp executive-produced, starred in, and narrated the documentary film Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy (2010). [15] [32] Her follow-up effort was another documentary film that she executive-produced and starred in, I Am Nancy (2011), which focuses on the fandom of Nancy and showcases the importance of horror heroines. [32] [15]

Langenkamp's first acting role in a decade was in Jonathan Zarantonello's horror film The Butterfly Room (2012) as the daughter of Barbara Steele's character. [32] [15] Langenkamp stated, "It was the first role I’d been offered in many years that actually had substance." [15] However, she was worried the film would be little-seen like her prior film efforts. [15] Producer Ethan Wiley was initially hesitant to cast her due to her extensive break from acting, but was impressed by her performance. [15] Film critic Kim Newman, writing for Screen International , singled Langenkamp out in his review, "Langenkamp—little-seen since her interesting turn in Wes Craven’s New Nightmare—is outstanding." [33] Langenkamp had a brief cameo appearance in Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story: Freak Show (2014) episode "Tupperware Party Massacre". [34]

In 2015, Langenkamp portrayed Sharon Monroe in four episodes of the drama series The Bay , and narrated the short horror film Vault of the Macabre II. [35] In 2016, she starred in the horror drama film Home . [36] She has a cameo appearance in the horror sequel film Hellraiser: Judgment . Also that year, she portrayed the adult version of the "final girl" Donna Boone in the Syfy television horror film Truth or Dare , guiding a group of teenagers with their battle with a deadly spirit that left her physically scarred several years prior. [37]

Since 2022: The Midnight Club and acting comeback

Langenkamp started the 2020s with roles in voice acting, providing a voice role in an episode of the Cartoon Network adult animated horror comedy JJ Villard's Fairy Tales (2020) and the voices of Dazzle Feather, Mayflower, and a confused mother in the animated adventure film My Little Pony: A New Generation (2021). [38] [39]

On February 1, 2021, reports confirmed Langenkamp as being a cast member in Mike Flanagan and Leah Fong's 10-episode Netflix horror mystery-thriller series The Midnight Club (2022); an adaptation of Christopher Pike's 1994 novel of the same name as well as various other Pike novels. [40] Langenkamp portrays Dr. Georgina Stanton, an enigmatic doctor who runs Brightcliffe Hospice, the primary setting of the series. [41] The series premiered on October 7, 2022. [42]

Langenkamp felt a personal connection to the role, stating "It was really exciting to me. You might know I lost my own son to brain cancer four years ago, and when I read the sides for the audition, I literally burst into tears because I really felt like it was a ghost story of my very own—like something very supernatural was happening that I was being asked to play this role." [43] While intended to have multiple seasons, Netflix ultimately canceled it in December. [44]

In 2024, Langenkamp had a supporting role as Ellenor in Spider One's horror film Little Bites , which was executive produced by Cher, followed by the crime film Plea. [45] [46] Speaking of her role of Ellenor: "I really responded to the way my character, Ellenor, thrusts Spider’s terrifying story in a new direction. I love that I get to deliver a kind of wisdom that older women often carry with them and are mysteriously duty-bound to pass along." [45] Flanagan later cast Langenkamp in the supporting role of Vera in his science fiction drama film The Life of Chuck (2025), based on the 2020 Stephen King novella of the same name. [47] The Life of Chuck was released theatrically nationwide in the United States by Neon on June 13, 2025. [48] Langenkamp is set to star in the upcoming horror films Last Chance Motel and Dirt..

Personal life

Langenkamp enrolled in Stanford University in 1982 and was a roommate of politician Susan Rice. [4] Langenkamp took sporadic breaks from college for her acting career. [14] Following the success of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Langenkamp returned to college as she enjoyed the atmosphere on campus, but attempted to maintain a low profile by cutting her hair short and wearing glasses. [14] However, people still recognized her in public. [14] Langenkamp struggled with the sudden fame, as some of her peers tried to maintain close contact with her due to her success as an actress. [14] She graduated from Stanford with a Bachelor of Arts in English in 1989. Shortly after the cancellation of Just the Ten of Us (1988-90), Langenkamp was informed that a stalker began making threats to other people involved in the show. [15] The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) cautioned Langenkamp to be alert with her surroundings. [15]

Langenkamp's first husband was musician Alan Pasqua, from 1984 until 1987. [49] Her second husband is make-up artist David LeRoy Anderson, whom she met at a wrap party for the 1988 film The Serpent and the Rainbow . [4] The couple were introduced by casting director Jill Simpson, a good friend of Langenkamp's from when they worked together on The Outsiders (1983); Simpson also worked on The Serpent and the Rainbow. Anderson proposed to Langenkamp on the set of Pet Sematary (1989), and they wed in 1990, in which Charlie Sheen acted as best man. [15] Anderson and Langenkamp had two children: Daniel "Atticus" Anderson, who died in 2018 of brain tumor complications at age 26, and daughter Isabelle Anderson. [50]

Langenkamp has maintained a close friendship with A Nightmare on Elm Street costars Amanda Wyss and Robert Englund. [51] Langenkamp has also developed friendships with actresses Lisa Wilcox and Tuesday Knight, who starred in additional A Nightmare on Elm Street sequels, through frequent appearances with them at fan conventions. [51] Langenkamp states, "This group of Nightmare actors, we’ve been lucky that we’ve been thrown together a lot — going around the country to these conventions. And so, our friendships have really blossomed." [51]
