Above, Anne Francis in uncharacteristic bad girl pose. She was one of the more attractive unusual '50s starlets who had an interesting career,
best known of course for her Altaira with Robby the Robot in
FORBIDDEN PLANET in '55, but also in
BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK,
BATTLE CRY,
DREAMBOAT and others, she was astonishingly busy - IMDB lists 167 credits of hers. In 1960 she was the air stewardess in
THE CROWDED SKY, perhaps the best of those 'doomed flight' scenarios, with John Kerr who also played her pimp that year in
GIRL OF THE NIGHT (already reviewed here, as per Anne Francis label). In the '60s she was
HONEY WEST a now highly regarded cult tv series (rather like
THE AVENGERS). I never saw it back then but have just ordered the box set. Should be a blast! Here's to Anne!
