• Child Actress Jinx?

  Anne Francis had it all, she was a 5 star actress and had tremendous range. She was talented enough as a young actress to steal the show "Forbidden Planet". She had a stunning performance on the Twilight Zone". But starting as a child actress seems to stop the most talented actors, possibly the wear and tear at an early age stops them from maturing to the next level.

• She will be missed.

  Anne was not only a beautiful woman, she was also a beautiful person. She was an accomplished actress, and a genuinely nice person. She had a wonderful outlook on life and a wonderful sense of humor. She was also a fighter, having beat cancer once already before becoming a victim this month. She will be missed.

• Was she too Beautiful?

  I have no explanation for why this very talented actress didn't make it to the upper ranks of stardom. She did have a great career, and I always looked forward to her performances but it seemed that she deserved better. But she can take credit for longevity and for quality performances and being an actress I will always remember.
