Nancy Douglass (née Hasenwinkle) was a stage and radio actor. She began her career in the 1930s acting under the stage name Nancy Haswin, before changing her stage name to Douglass in 1938. She was married to Lawrence Hurdle and also performed for a time as Nancy Hurdle. Her Broadway roles included parts in The Devil of Pei-Ling (1936), Out of the Frying Pan (1941), and Bloomer Girl (1944). She was an understudy in the Theatre Guild's touring production of Ah, Wilderness! (1935) and starred in the radio program Dangerous Road in 1938.
