Martie Allen (born 1963) is a teacher, former television personality and partner of retired actress Kristy McNichol. The couple has been together for nearly 30 years now but are not married.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ever since she retired from acting in 2001, Kristy McNichol has firmly stayed out of the spotlight in order to focus on herself. The two-time Emmy winner has turned down all overtures to lure her back to the spotlight but she did make an exception in 2012 and what a momentous exception it was as McNichol used that opportunity to come out of the closet. She also introduced the world to her long-term partner, Martie Allen.<\/p>\n Just like her famous girlfriend, Allen is also said to have had a brush with showbiz, albeit not to the same extent that McNichol did. She would later come into the latter\u2019s life as it was spiraling out of control and helped her get over several troubles. The two have been going steady since then and have built a wonderful life for themselves away from the spotlight.<\/p>\n Thousands of people dream of making it big in Hollywood but only a few succeed at the end of the day. One of those who fall into the former category is Martie Allen. A native of the United States of America, Allen was born in the year 1960.<\/p>\n There is not much information about her family background or what her early childhood looked like. Her place of birth is also not known but one thing that is for sure is that after completing school, she headed out to Hollywood to see if she could make it as an actress. In tinsel town, Martie Allen was able to land a few TV jobs but that was that. She was never able to become as successful as her partner, Kristy McNichol.<\/p>\n Born on the 11th of September 1962 in Los Angeles, Kristy McNichol began appearing in commercials as a child. By the time she reached the age of 10, she was already guest-starring in several TV shows, and aged 13, she landed a career-defining role on the drama series, Family.<\/em><\/p>\n The show ran for four years during which Kristy McNichol portrayed an all-American tomboy named Buddy. Her performance made her a teen star. She also received several accolades, including the 1977 and 1979 Emmy awards for best-supporting actress in a dramatic series. Kristy McNichol was therefore a bonafide star even before she clocked the age of 16 and many expected her to go on and dominate. It was not to be though as the pressure of coping with stardom at an early age caught up with her.<\/p>\n\n
