Biography:


Swanson was born to Robert Swanson and Rosemary Albrecht. An athletic, appealing performer who decided at the age of nine that she wanted to be an actress, Kristy Swanson had racked up some 30 TV commercial credits by the age of 15.

In 1986, she made her feature debut in the John Hughes-produced Pretty in Pink and also appeared in Hughes' Ferris Bueller's Day Off before essaying her first lead as the girl next door brought back to life a la Frankenstein in Wes Craven's Deadly Friend. After landing a key role in the film version of V C Andrews' classic horror novel Flowers in the Attic (1987), Swanson segued to TV, playing the recurring part of Jody Campbell on Knots Landing (CBS) during the 1987-88 season, followed by turns as Lynn Ellingsworth in two 1989 installments of B.L. Stryker (aired under the umbrella of The ABC Mystery Movie). She had her first shot at series stardom portraying student nurse Rebecca Halliday in the short-lived Aaron Spelling-produced Nightingales (NBC, 1989). When small screen stardom eluded her, Swanson once again returned to features as the female lead of Mannequin 2: On the Move (1991), but the choice to play a medieval peasant trapped in the body of a mannequin proved embarrassing.

Her career received a big boost, albeit delayed, as the Valley Girl title character of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992). Despite her engaging, exuberant performance and quirky turns from the likes of Paul Reubens (a.k.a. Pee-wee Herman), future Oscar-winner Hilary Swank and Rutger Hauer, the film failed to perform at the box office. But fans discovered its young star when the picture became a hot video rental, helping to spawn the highly successful TV series version. She put her athleticism to good use as a calm, cool tennis star in The Program (1993) and starred as a millionaire's daughter taken hostage by an innocent man (Charlie Sheen) on the run in The Chase (1994), though director John Singleton showed her to better effect in that year's Higher Learning, as a naive college freshman coming to terms with her burgeoning bisexuality. Swanson also snagged the female lead of Diana Palmer to Billy Zane's The Phantom (1996), in the tepid adventure thriller based on the popular comic strip, but was outshone by villainess Catherine Zeta-Jones.

In an attempt to dispel her "girl next door" image, Swanson starred as the devastatingly beautiful and seductive sociopath Francesca Wells in the ABC movie Bad to the Bone (1997). 1998 saw her play a gossipy Southern socialite in the feature Meeting Daddy, and she also returned to series TV, joining the cast of CBS' Early Edition for the 1998-99 season as Kyle Chandler's love interest. She received some of her best feature exposure to date as Adam Sandler's girlfriend in the commercial blockbuster Big Daddy (1999). She was back as a series regular in CBS' fluffy midseason comedy Grapevine (2000- ), a reworking of a series that had run briefly in 1992. Swanson played Susan Crawford, a cruise-line executive who meddles in everyone's business before coming to realize that she's madly in love with a college pal (played by Steven Eckholdt).

Swanson remains most recognisable for her role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She has also posed nude for Playboy magazine in November 2002.

Kristy Swanson has been tapped to play an Anna Nicole Smith type of character in an upcoming episode of NBC’s "Law and Order: Criminal Intent." Swanson will play Lorelei Mailer, an Anna Nicole-like sex goddess who becomes addicted to pills and falls on hard times. David Cross will play the character modeled after Howard K. Stern.

She appeared in and won the 2006 FOX television program Skating with Celebrities, partnered with Lloyd Eisler. The pair began dating in December of 2005; they welcomed the birth of their first child together, Magnus Hart Swanson Eisler, on February 16, 2007. [1] The pair were together in Kingston, Ontario in February 2006 to promote and host the annual FebFest event.

It's great to see a thread about Kristy. She's very over looked as an actress. The artwork is so pretty. I've only watched some of her movies those are, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which I love), Big Daddy, Mannequin: On the Move, Hot Shots, and The Chase.

M.I.S.S.Y

I love Buffy! She is the original Slayer. SMG did a great job but Kristy will always be the original slayer!

DefLeppardFan

Yes she will

M.I.S.S.Y

It was hard to find pictures of Kristy. A lot of hers are provocative...she did Playboy in 2002 so when you type in her name in google...that's what comes up!..lol

*Lethe's Bramble*

Yeah but those were pretty pics!

DefLeppardFan

Is she in any new movies? I haven't seen her in one in a while.



I've heard rumors Kristy might be playing as Anna Nicole, I think she could play as her.

*Lethe's Bramble*

I have no idea

Thanks for posting the pics though.
