Anne Francis (September 16, 1930 – January 2, 2011) was an American actress. She modeled for ads and appeared on Broadway as a child, breaking into film roles in the late 1940s. Like Marilyn Monroe, she was easily identified by a beauty mark on her face, in Francis’s case at the lower left corner of her mouth. She was best known for Forbidden Planet, Honey West, and Funny Girl.
Francis was married twice, to US Air Force pilot Bamlet Lawrence Price, Jr. and dentist Robert Abeloff. She had two children with Abeloff. In 1982 she published an autobiography titled Voices from Home: An Inner Journey. She died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 80.
