Nancy Berg

Nancy Berg (born 1931) is an American former model and actress.[1][2][3]

Nancy Berg ran away from home in Kenosha, Wisconsin[4] in 1947 to start modelling, and by 1960 she was earning $40,000 per year. Berg was on the front cover of Vogue four times, starting in 1953, and was Esquire's "Lady Fair" for May of 1956.[5] She was also the star and sole performer for a 1955 New York television program entitled Count Sheep with Nancy Berg which aired five nights a week from 1:00 to 1:05 in the morning. "The nightgown-clad Miss Berg would appear, get into bed, perform a bit of business, such as read from Romeo and Juliet or eat grapes off a toy Ferris wheel, and then, in extreme close-up, whisper a good night to the camera and pretend to go to sleep as animated sheep jumped over a fence. Her manager stated, 'A lot of people watch it. God knows why.'"[6]

Berg was married to actor Geoffrey Horne.[7]
