Lisa Elizabeth Wilcox is an American actress, and former model and designer. She is best known for her role as Alice Johnson in the A Nightmare on Elm Street sequels 4 (1988) and 5 (1989)—both box office successes.
Career In 1984, Wilcox made her film debut in Gimme an 'F'. From 1985 to 1987, Wilcox guest starred on the television series Hardcastle and McCormick (1985), You Again? (1986), CBS Schoolbreak Special (1987), Valerie's Family: The Hogans (1987), Mr. Belvedere (1987), and MacGyver (1987). In 1988, Wilcox guest starred on the television series It's a Living and Hotel before portraying Alice Johnson in the fantasy horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.
At the wrap party, producers asked her if she would be willing to star in the fifth film, to which she agreed. Wilcox noticed a transformation of her character between the two films: "Alice started out very introverted, and even though she beat Freddy and became more confident, she still ended up pretty fearful. In this film, she’s still got that confidence but also a sense of outrage that makes her almost a madwoman. She’s stronger, more aggressive, and more willing to fight for her loved ones, more willing to put herself on the line." The film explores her character dealing with teen pregnancy, and while she noted early drafts of the script avoided the seriousness of the topic, subsequent rewrites incorporated dialogue pertaining to abortion and adoption. The same year, Wilcox portrayed Yuta in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called "The Vengeance Factor".
