ABOUT THE COVER GIRL
NANCY CALLAHAN FROM SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR
Model: Mica from Spotlight Agency
Quick Facts
Like many in Sin City, Nancy similarly had a tough life, starting with
being kidnapped at the tender age of 11 by the sadistic serial killer
Roark Junior.
Before she could become another of Roark Junior’s victims, she was
rescued by John Hartigan – who was later framed and imprisoned for
allegedly raping her.
Hartigan is not completely forgotten though, as Nancy commits to
writing him a letter once a week for the eight years of his incarceration.
Nancy ultimately matures into a beautiful young woman and becomes a
stripper at Kadie’s Saloon (she is an exceptionally skilled dancer), until
she is reunited with Hartigan, who has been released from prison.
Despite their age difference, Nancy still considers Hartigan her hero
and true love; which lends her story yet more of a tragic element.
Famous NANCY CALLAHAN quotes
Nancy, Age 11: “Maybe you won’t let me visit, but I’ll still write to you,
Hartigan. I’ll sign my letters “Cordelia.” That’s the name of a really cool
detective in books I read. I’ll write to you every week... for forever.”
