Terri Nunn
Terri Nunn (born June 26, 1961 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actress and singer.
Nunn has appeared in many B-movies and as a guest performer on a number of television shows. She was one of the actresses who auditioned for the role of Princess Leia in the 1977 film Star Wars, but lost out to Carrie Fisher. Eventually, she would begin her acting career appearing in numerous television shows of the 1970s and 1980s.
She is also a singer who sang background vocals for The Sisters of Mercy. Around the same time, she joined the techno-pop band Berlin, replacing a departing lead singer, and soon would forge her recording career with the band. Nunn would eventually take the group's name as her alternate moniker. Nunn's biggest-selling single (as Berlin) was "Take My Breath Away", the love theme from the film Top Gun (since remade in a cover version by Jessica Simpson).
In 1992, she recorded Moment of Truth, a solo album released under her real name. Nunn resurrected Berlin with entirely new backup members at the end of the 1990s and recorded a new album, as well as a new live concert tour.
