Ronee Sue Blakley (born August 24, 1945 in Nampa, Idaho) is an American singer, songwriter and actress.
First gaining some notice as a Singer-Songwriter (her politically-tinged lyrics and lilting voice drawing frequent comparisons to Joan Baez), she gave a memorable performance as the fictional country superstar Barbara Jean in Robert Altman's Nashville (1975). Horror fans may know her better for her role as Marge Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). She accompanied Bob Dylan on his 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour (her performance of "Need a New Sun Rising" is the only song included in its entirety in his long Le Film Artistique chronicle of the tour, Renaldo and Clara, that isn't peformed by Dylan) and did backing vocals on his hit "Hurricane". She was briefly married to Wim Wenders.
