Kristy Swanson

Kristy Swanson is an actress, producer and proud republican, best known for her role as Buffy in the 1992 Buffy The Vampire Slayer film, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Flowers in the Attic, not to mention her extensive and impressive work on the hit TV newsmagazine Entertainment Today, which she has been a part of for a decade. Swanson first began her career in a dolls house commercial at just nine years old, and over the next four years appeared in 30 different commercials before leaving school to focus on her acting full time. She has appeared in both TV and film roles, alongside her niece Amanda Swanson and three times with the notorious Charlie Sheen, and the iconic director John Hughes, who originally cast Swanson on the role of the girl who picks up the phone in the school hall in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, liked Swanson’s audition so much he wrote the small role of the Economics student specifically for her and recommended her for a small role in the reshot ending of Pretty in Pink, which was filmed and then released a few months later.

However, Swanson is more than just an actor, and has a keen interest in golf and hockey. In 2014, she launched aDRESSitGOLF, a clothing line of ladies golf wear and accessories, and co-owns an ice rink, P.A.C.E.S Hockey, with her husband and two time Olympic medallist Lloyd Eisler.
