28. Who played Steve Burns's (AKA John Forbes) girlfriend?
From Quiz "Cruising" with Al Pacino
Answer:
Karen Allen
Karen Allen played Nancy, his girlfriend, a well adjusted woman who was the one steady female influence in his life. (She had co-starred in "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" in 1981, "The Perfect Storm" 2000, and "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull" 2008.)
The unsteady relationship between the two leading characters was put in jeopardy when Steve Burns, AKA John Forbes (Al Pacino) decided to accept this undercover assignment. He could not tell her about the investigation he had undertaken, adding to the already difficult situation.
The investigation asked Steve Burns (his undercover name was John Forbes) to infiltrate the gay scene, and to become part of the night life. This hopefully would lead to the discovery and arrest of a serial killer who had been murdering young gay men in the New York City area.
Diane Keaton starred with Al Pacino in all three "Godfather" movies. She has had a very successful career in mostly comic movies, notably "Annie Hall" with Woody Allen, "First Wives Club" and "Something's Gotta Give".
Tuesday Weld starred with Al Pacino in "Author! Author!" another low rated movie. Marthe Keller was in "Bobby Deerfield" with Al Pacino, this movie was a love story. Pacino's manager (Martin Bregman) had recommended to Pacino that he not make this movie, but Al Pacino wanted to play in a love story. I liked his portrayal, it showed me that he could command an audience in any type of movie.
