Personal life
In May 1991, Kelly married actor Jack Nance.[1] They had met in rehab, as both had struggled with drug and alcohol addictions. Kelly was also "trying to shed nefarious connections to the porn industry in which she had dabbled under the name Nancee Kelley."[2]
Death
Kelly Van Dyke-Nance committed suicide on November 17, 1991.[3]
Her husband, Jack Nance was in Bass Lake, California, filming Meatballs 4 at the time. Van Dyke had relapsed and had resumed making pornography in order to fund her addictions. During a phone call with Van Dyke, Nance told her he wanted to end their marriage as he could not watch her "destroy herself." Van Dyke then "told him she was going to kill herself if he hung up on her. Moments later the storm took out the line and the phone went dead." Subsequently, it took over 45 minutes for Nance and director Bobby Logan to find a working phone. After reaching the nearest town's sheriff office, an officer contacted Los Angeles police. They broke in, finding that the 33-year-old Van Dyke had hanged herself.[2]
