Her intentions are abundantly clear.
American actress Anne Francis appears here in a Four Star Productions promo photo made for her television series Honey West, which ran for one season on the network ABC. Francis was a television iron woman, appearing on scores of shows, but she also made a mark in feature films such as Forbidden Planet and Bad Day at Black Rock. This confident shot is from 1965 and shows her looking beautiful in her mid-thirties. About a dozen years earlier, near the beginning of her career, she still looked good but also very different.

You can’t go home again—and sometimes you don’t want to even if you could.
Anne Francis, née Anne Marvak, was born in the prison town of Ossining, New York—location of Sing Sing Correctional Facility. Once she made her escape to Hollywood she became known for her role opposite Leslie Nielsen in the sci-fi film Forbidden Planet, but other notable credits include Bad Day at Black Rock, Rogue Cop, and the television series Honey West, all of which are well worth a gander. This dynamic shot is from the early 1950s.
