Chloe Webb

Chloe Webb (born June 25, 1956, in Greenwich Village, Manhattan) is an American actress who grew up primarily in Syracuse, New York. She trained at The Boston Conservatory and Berklee College of Music before launching a career in theater, including a stint in Off-Broadway's Forbidden Broadway revue beginning in 1982.

She made her film debut in Alex Cox's punk-era drama Sid and Nancy (1986), playing Nancy Spungen opposite Gary Oldman's Sid Vicious. Her portrayal of the troubled Nancy earned her best actress recognition from the National Society of Film Critics, the Boston Film Critics, and the San Francisco Film Critics. She continued to work in film through the late 1980s, appearing alongside Danny DeVito in Ivan Reitman's comedy Twins (1988), which brought her to Reitman's attention. The following year, Reitman cast her in Ghostbusters II (1989), where she played Elaine, an uncredited guest on Episode 32 of Peter Venkman's television program "The World of the Psychic." Elaine claims to have been abducted by aliens and shares her prediction of the end of the world on February 14, 2016. In the earlier August 5, 1988 script draft the character was written differently, as one of three women claiming to have had sexual relations with an alien; the role was revised to its final form before shooting. A different actress portrays Elaine in the separately filmed deleted scene also titled "World of the Psychic." In the NOW Comics adaptation The Real Ghostbusters Starring in Ghostbusters II, Elaine is depicted with red hair and square glasses, and the character has subsequently appeared in IDW Publishing's ongoing Ghostbusters comics continuity.

Her television career includes an Emmy-nominated performance as Laurette Barber in the ABC drama series China Beach, and a recurring role as Monica Gallagher in the Showtime comedy-drama Shameless.
