The Craft's Fairuza Balk Is Almost Unrecognizable
Jun 19, 2026
Fairuza Balk is an indie movie princess who is known for playing dark, edgy, and complicated characters. Mainstream audiences remember her for playing Nancy Downs in the supernatural horror sleeper hit "The Craft." The role made her the "it" goth girl of the '90s, but Balk refused to be typecast as the perennial goth girl and continued pushing the boundaries of her talents by taking on hard-to-love characters in "American History X" and "The Island of Dr. Moreau."
