Anne Francis (also known as Anne Lloyd Francis; September 16, 1930 – January 2, 2011) was an American actress known for her role in the science fiction film Forbidden Planet (1956) and for having starred in the television series Honey West (1965–1966) which was the first TV series with a female detective character's name in the title. She won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy Award for her role in the series.
Some sources erroneously claim she was born Ann Marvak in Ossining, New York, on September 16, 1930. However, according to her parents' marriage registration and census records from 1925 and 1930, her parents were Philip Ward Francis (1900–1974) and Edith (née Albertson) Francis (1901–1995).
She entered show business at a young age, working as a model at age five to help her family during the Great Depression. She made her Broadway debut at the age of 11.
Francis made her film debut in This Time for Keeps (1947). She played supporting roles in the films Susan Slept Here, So Young, So Bad, and Bad Day at Black Rock; her first leading role was in Blackboard Jungle (1955). Her best-known film role is that of "Altaira" in Forbidden Planet (1956), an Oscar-nominated science-fiction classic and the great American Pastime 1956
