Nancy Grant is a fictional character from All My Children, an American soap opera on the ABC network, played by Lisa Wilkinson from 1973 until 1984,[1] with a brief return in early 1995.

Nancy was the first Black female leading character on All My Children, and for many years she was one of the most recognizable Black female characters on daytime television.[1] Wilkinson was married in real life to John Danelle,[2] who played Nancy's husband Dr. Frank Grant, and many media outlets chose to interview the couple together.[2][3][4]
