Yup!...could have been the very "model" for the folks who constructed mannequins...her face and body were just near perfection.

Anne was a natural beauty her entire life.

When meeting Anne and spending a few hours talking with her ,one comes away with such a warm content feeling , almost like talking to a close family member. A kind lovely person,very honest and down to earth. Miss you dearly,you'll always be in my heart.

That show was just a couple years ahead of it's time...Wonder Woman was the logical next type of show. Bad timing for Anne! And her co-star also never really made it to the top.

Two absolute classics with Anne Francis. Some things should never grow old, or die. That's beautiful Anne who is missed.

Classic beauty in two classic Twilight Zone episodes. I liked her in Jess-Belle because even in a villain type role, you still felt for her as a tragic character victimized by her naivete and immature jealousy. Underneath it you still felt the goodness in Anne.

Anne and Elizabeth Allen as the mannequins.....perfect chemistry in their scenes. One of the best Twilight episodes....

The After Hours...... Nothing spookier than mannequins in a deserted store at night!

I saw her tonight in a vintage episode of "The Fugitive" and it reminded me what a beautiful and talented actress she was. She was a natural beauty that looked great her whole life. I wish there was another like her but I don't think that will ever happen. RIP Anne Francis...you are missed.

Wally Smith, it DID have a lot of features that pop up in nightmares. Especially when the mannequins start calling out "Marcia", "Marcia", with close-ups of the lifeless faces. But then it takes a surprisingly moving tone as she mourns the ending of "her turn" in the "real world", the other mannequins, who came to life by this time, were comforting, warmly welcoming her back to her "family".

Except for the lines around her mouth, she has changed very little, that neck is perfection. She is prefection, start to finish. She was a great star, she never got the superstar buildiup, but she is never the less very much missed and still loved.

The After hours was probably my all time fav episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE caus of Anne Francis, she was a HOT LITTLE THING in her day 📺!

Remember she did a live theatre performance on PBS, a Victorian piece. She was absolutely gorgeous dressed in those Victorian costumes.

I have the complete collection of the originals Twilight Zone! Love them all😎!

The frozen look of shock and pure horror on on Anne's face, when she was forced to observe what was wrong as the saleslady was shown to be a mannequin! And that shot of her through the pebbled glass door window panes. She was captive in an unimaginably creepy cage so the illusion had us knowing it. I watched it as a teenager, and I felt the whole spinal structure of my back in a cold, clammy sweat!

Didn't even realize she did the 2 episodes because she looked so different in both. Now that I know, it seems obvious. Loved her, so beautiful & very sexy "50's" girl look in "After Hours".

Luved her on The Golden Girls as the Prankster against Dorothy. She was funny

IMO...Anne Francis was among the very most beautiful of all actresses in her time...and she retained her sexy good looks, well into her 60s!...somehow, she never got to the highest level of exposure in Hollywood. I am guessing that she may have been too assertive at the time--difficult?--and also, I do not see her doing that "couch-surfing" situation, in order to get better parts!

If she was around now i see her as a Cherlize type.

She was excellent in "Honey West".

Honey West é um filme que lembra a minha infância. Assisti outros, mas esse é especial.

I love T zone. I have whole collection . She was great in jessabelle and after hours. She was in hitchcock show where she plays a lonely wife.
