Anne Heywood

Anne Heywood

Anne Heywood (born 11 December 1932) is a retired British film actress.

Born as Violet Pretty in Handsworth, Birmingham, England, she won the Miss Great Britain title under her real name in 1950, and also attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. She began acting in films in the early 1950s, first in supporting roles but gradually evolving into a leading lady.

Her best known film role was in a film adaptation of a D. H. Lawrence novel, "The Fox", co-starring Sandy Dennis, made in 1967, which caused controversy at the time due to its lesbian themes. In the 1970s, she appeared in several "giallo"-type thrillers made in Italy.

Her career wound down in the 1980s, and after a character role in the TV series "The Equalizer", she retired from acting. She now resides in the United States.Fact|date=April 2008
