Full Biography
Anne Heywood (born Violet Pretty on December 11, 1932) is an English actress known for her roles in films and thrillers. Born in Handsworth, Birmingham, she won the Miss Great Britain title in 1950 before attending the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Heywood began acting in films in the early 1950s, initially in supporting roles but later becoming a leading lady. Her notable film appearances include 'The Fox' (1967) with Sandy Dennis, which sparked controversy due to its lesbian themes. In the 1970s, she starred in several Italian giallo-type thrillers like 'Le monache di Sant'Arcangelo' (1973). After a decline in her career during the 1980s, Heywood's penultimate role was on the U.S. TV series 'The Equalizer' (1988) as Manon Brevard Marcel. She retired from acting after appearing in the TV movie 'Memories of Manon' in 1989 and resides in California.
