Nancy Kyes was 27 years old when she portrayed Annie Brackett, the high school student, on Halloween. The casting choice was a controversial one because Kyes was much older than the character, but her performance was so excellent that it went unnoticed by the audience. Kyes perfectly fitted Annie's bubbly character, making her an unforgettable part of the iconic slasher movie.
The age gap did not even take away from the performance, as she brought both heart and humor to the role, adding to the general success of the film and turning Annie into a standout role in Halloween.
