Anne Francis 1930-2011

 

 

 

I loved this show as a kid (heck, anything with superheroes, spies, fancy guys or girls did it for me). When she wasn't stroking her ocelot Anne Francis' Honey West was a cool chick who karate-chopped her way through the first (and only) season of this 60s TV series.  But I always look forward to her first scene in Funny Girl, where she plays Georgia the chorus girl.  In response to an admonishment for being late, she says with a swish of her skirts, "Sorry, Flo" (to Florenz Ziegfeld, her boss).  Her delivery, and the look in her bauble-blue eyes--priceless.  RIP.
