Michelle Stacy was a cute, prolific, and pretty popular child actress of the 70s who acted in both films and TV shows for six years straight. Perhaps best known as the voice of "Penny" in the Disney animated feature, The Rescuers (1977), Stacy also had memorable small parts in the science fiction pictures Logan's Run (1976) and Demon Seed (1977). Stacy had a sizable supporting role as a traumatized mute girl revolt-of-nature horror outing Day of the Animals (1977). She also did guest spots on such TV shows as Mannix (1967), The Waltons (1972), The Incredible Hulk (1977), Eight Is Enough (1977) and B.J. and the Bear (1978) and in TV commercials for Peter Pan Peanut Butter in the late 70s. Following her hilarious cameo as the little girl who likes black coffee in the uproarious Airplane! (1980), Stacy stopped acting.
