Anne Lloyd Francis (September 16, 1930 – January 2, 2011)[1] was an American actress. Francis was best known for her role in the science fiction film classic Forbidden Planet (1956) and for starring in the television series Honey West (1965–1966) which was the first TV series with a female detective character's name in the title. She won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Emmy award for her role in the series.

Her signature trademarks were her blonde, smouldering good-looks and a small beauty mark/mole just to the right of her lower lip.

In 1968 she played the role of Georgia James in the feature film Funny Girl and one year later played Nancy Ingersoll, the wife of Jerry Lewis' character in the comedy Hook, Line and Sinker. She also co-starred in Impasse, an adventure film starring Burt Reynolds.
