Ellen Bry is an American actress. She is best known for her portrayal of nurse-turned-vigilante Shirley Daniels on the hospital drama St. Elsewhere.: 922 

Bry gained acting experience in school plays, community theater productions, Tufts University and summer stock theatre. At one point, she left acting and worked as a paralegal for New York City's Department of Consumer Affairs. A scripted fight on an episode of Kojak led to Bry's working for a while as a stuntwoman in New York.

Bry also appeared as medical student Jean Hallinan in three episodes of the television series Dallas (Season Four, 1981)[citation needed] and as photographer Julie Masters on the 1978 CBS series The Amazing Spider-Man.

Bry's family moved to Stamford, Connecticut, when she was a child.
