Nancy McKeon was born in Westbury, New York on April 4th, 1966. She has only one brother, Philip McKeon, who is 18 months older and whom she appeared in over 60 commercials with over the years. Her middle name is Justine.

From her childhood home in Forest Hills, NY, Nancy McKeon began her career as a catalogue model and actress on commercials.

When her brother Philip was cast to play Tommy on the series Alice, the McKeon clan headed for the West Coast. Nancy soon shared her brother's success. She was cast in hit shows like Starsky and Hutch, The Love Boat, Alice and, of course, The Facts of Life. McKeon's amazing ability to cry on cue as Jo Polniaczek on The Facts of Life won her the nickname her "Faucet Face" from her cast mates.

After The Facts of Life was cancelled, Nancy made several guest appearances on television series and hosted Friday Night Videos opposite Michael Damian [whom she dated]. McKeon is now best known for an impressive list of made-for-TV movies.

At one time, she dated Michael J. Fox and later Luc Robitaille - a NHL hockey player.

She currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
