Felice Schachter (born November 17, 1963) is an American actress, best known for her roles as Nancy on The Facts of Life and Bernadette in the cult teen comedy Zapped!.
Schachter was born in Queens, New York, the daughter of Suzanne Marion (née Mokotoff), a theatrical manager, and Alex Schachter, a real estate developer and accountant. Schachter's mother, the founder of Suzelle Enterprises, helped Felice get her start by having her model as early as the age of four months, when she appeared on the cover of American Baby magazine. Felice did commercials for Ivory Snow, Pampers, Downy, Baby Alive, and Jordache Jeans. She went on to study at the George Balachine School of Ballet at age eight. Later she joined the New York City Ballet company, most notably performing in The Nutcracker. She also had performed in both Sleeping Beauty and The Taming of the Shrew.
Schachter started her show business career in 1978, appearing in two off-Broadway plays called The Innocents and Time Again.
She was selected for what would be known as her most notable role, Nancy in The Facts of Life. She played the role regularly until 1980, when she was the first member of the regular cast to be let go. She would continue to make guest appearances on the show until 1986. Other television roles included Diff'rent Strokes, the soap opera Love of Life, NBC Quiz Kids, The Adams Chronicles, Alice, The New Monkees and Love, American Style, among others.
