Two distinguished British actresses, and a lively Hollywood starlet !
Anna Massey, aged 73. She began as the debutante in the original '50s production of THE RELUCTANT DEBUTANTE, her first movie role was as Jack Hawkins' daughter in John Ford's GIDEON'S DAY in '58. Then of course there was Michael Powell's notorious clasic PEEPING TOM in 1960, and her role as Babs in Hitch's FRENZY in 1972 - that chilling moment when the camera backs away down the stairs and out of the building from what is going on upstairs ... Anna was very prolific with lots of other movie roles in films like BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING, DE SADE and a tv REBECCA as Mrs Danvers, with her ex-husband Jeremy Brett as Max.
She had a happy late second marriage and was always among the first to be called for a costume drama where she excelled as aunts and spinsters of every type. She was the daughter of Raymond Massey, and sister of Daniel Massey - she and Daniel must have had great fun doing their segment of VAULT OF HORROR. RIP indeed.
