Adult Film Actress. Born Kelly Van Dyke in Danville, Illinois, she was the daughter of television's "Coach" star Jerry Van Dyke and the niece of Dick Van Dyke. Her pretty looks, famous name, and physique quickly caught the attention of the adult film industry, and her first film, "The Coach's Daughter" (1991), was an obvious play to cash in on her father's name. Following this, she worked in three other adult films, including "Club Josephine" (1992). A drug abuser most of her adult life, she was married to actor Jack Nance, best remembered for his role of sawmill owner Pete Martell on the television series, "Twin Peaks." She committed suicide by hanging herself in the bedroom of their North Hollywood, California, apartment. Her husband, Jack Nance, was later murdered in December, 1996.
