[2] Swift made her acting debut in 1977 at the age of 13, in the horror film Audrey Rose, as Ivy Templeton, a young girl suffering from disturbing nightmares because she is the reincarnation of a girl named Audrey Rose.

De Felitta wanted to avoid casting a known child actor and was rather looking for 'the perfect face' to play the lead role.

[2] The following year, Swift appeared as 14-year-old Dee Johnson in the comedy Harper Valley PTA, with Barbara Eden and Ronny Cox.

Her final film appearance came in 1995, when she starred in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, with Donald Pleasence, Paul Rudd and Marianne Hagan.

Her first television role was in the CBS mini-series The Chisholms, which ran for a total of 13 episodes over a year.
