Marin Kanter, a petite and captivating brunette actress, had a brief but notable career in film, appearing in only a small handful of movies. Born on February 20, 1960, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to a banker father and a singer/songwriter mother, Nancy and Joseph Kanter.
Marin made her film debut as Diane Lane's reluctant sister, Tracy, in the delightfully raucous teen rock 'n' roll cult favorite, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains, released in 1982. She was also fine as Danny Kaye's sweet daughter, Janet Feldman, in the acclaimed made-for-TV feature, Skokie, in 1981.
Kanter's other notable roles include her excellent performance as Robert Urich's bitter estranged juvenile delinquent daughter, Mackenzie, in the offbeat science fiction conspiracy thriller, Endangered Species, also released in 1982. Moreover, Marin gave a simply stunning performance as the tempting rebellious underage adolescent tramp, Telena, in the marvelously brooding and stylish period 50s biker mood piece, The Loveless, released in 1981.
Alas, following her brief turn as a tiny nun in the comedy "Too Much Sun", Marin Kanter called it a day as an actress, leaving behind a legacy of memorable performances in her relatively short but impressive film career.
