Nancy Mette
Most people probably don’t remember, but Nancy Mette played the role of Karla, a New York prostitute, in the film "Crocodile Dundee." Since those days, she has maintained a very low-key Hollywood career, gaining a mere 19 acting credits. She’s had roles in projects such as "Meet the Hollowheads" and "Terms of Endearment." She may never have become a star, but Nancy Mette had found a unique niche in movies, playing small but demanding roles.
If a director needed to fill a minor role calling for a difficult line or a quirky delivery, he could always pick up the telephone and ask whether Mette was available. Her last role was as a guest star on "Monk." She has been married to Hollywood director Barnet Kellman since 1982.
