Swift was born in Houston, Texas. [1] She has one sister, Kathryn. At the time when Audrey Rose was filmed, she was attending Webster Intermediate School in Webster, Texas. [2]
Swift made her acting debut in 1977 at the age of 13, in the horror film Audrey Rose , as Ivy Templeton, a young girl suffering from disturbing nightmares because she is the reincarnation of a girl named Audrey Rose. Produced by Frank De Felitta, a nationwide search was done to identify a young girl to play the lead role and Swift won the role after being scouted at a local theater group at her middle school. De Felitta wanted to avoid casting a known child actor and was rather looking for 'the perfect face' to play the lead role. [2]
The following year, Swift appeared as 14-year-old Dee Johnson in the comedy Harper Valley PTA , with Barbara Eden and Ronny Cox. In 1981, she starred in her first leading role, in the Bert I. Gordon film Burned at the Stake . Her final film appearance came in 1995, when she starred in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers , with Donald Pleasence, Paul Rudd and Marianne Hagan.
Swift has a short film career, as well as a short television career for which she appeared in several guest roles during the 1970s and '80s. Her first television role was in the CBS mini-series The Chisholms , which ran for a total of 13 episodes over a year. They also include the short-lived series Seven Brides for Seven Brothers , which lasted one season, the Golden Globe-winning Magnum, P.I. , Amazing Stories and Simon & Simon . Among her television film credits are Featherstone's Nest, The Six of Us and A Killer in the Family.
Swift has been married to attorney Alan Arnall since 1993. She is a mother of seven and currently resides, with her husband, in Glendale, California. [3] She is a contributor to the conservative political website Politichicks. [4]
