Nancy Dowd

Nancy Dowd (born 1945) is a screenwriter most famous for her films Slap Shot and Coming Home.^[1][2] Her brother Ned Dowd inspired the story behind Slap Shot based on his experiences playing minor league hockey. She also acted in a minor role in Slap Shot and wrote lyrics for a song used in Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains, another film she wrote.^[3]
