Nancy Hower was born on May 11, 1966, and grew up in New Jersey. She
appeared on stage for the first time as a senior in high school. After
high school, she studied drama at the noted Juilliard School in New
York, and subsequently appeared in many regional shows as well as in
the Williamstown Theater Festival. Nancy's professional theatrical
debut was on Christmas Eve of 1993 where she starred in the lead role
of Andrea in a production of "The Years" at the Manhattan Theatre Club
in New York.
She is perhaps most famous for her recurring guest role as Ensign
Samantha Wildman on Star Trek: Voyager (1995), a role she continued to reprise for five
years. In addition to her numerous stage, television, and film roles,
Nancy has directed for the stage and film. In 2003, she directed the
unreleased short film The Wizard of Id, and in 2004 she made her
feature film directorial debut with _Memron (2004)_. Also written by Nancy,
Memron is a mockumentary on the real life Enron scandal. The film won
high acclaim and awards at many film festivals in 2004, including the
Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the 2004 Slamdance Film
Festival.
Most recently, Nancy is filming her improv comedy series 10 Items or
Less, which has just been purchased by TBS. She will also be singing
for the upcoming film _Catch and Release (2007)_, as well as appearing in a small role in
the movie.
