Ms Francis has in fact written a Book. "Voices from Home" is said to be an interesting read for anyone interested in her thoughts on life, the hereafter and fate. The Book was published in 1982. Copies are still available on Amazon. Johnwrd ( talk) 22:15, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
"Her character, the naive daughter of Dr. Morbius, was reportedly based on the character Miranda from The Tempest." [citation needed]
"Citation needed"? Well, then, let's have citations for "the sky is blue", "grass is green", and "water is wet". And we certainly don't want people thinking West Side Story bears any relationship whatever to Romeo and Juliette without official dispensation from an experienced theater critic -- John Simon perhaps?
Good grief. No wonder contributors get angry when the sniveling, cowardly Wikipedia staff tries to keep them from stating the obvious. I've fixed this idiocy, and I dare you to revert it. WilliamSommerwerck ( talk) 02:08, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
After editing this paragraph, I realized that the details about the film and role have little to do with Ms Francis, so I removed them and moved this sentence to the preceding paragraph. Anyone who wants to more about the film can click on the link. Which is the whole point of links -- to keep articles from becoming overloaded with secondary material.

Britannica says her birthname was Ann Marvak, which differs from that given in the article. "Anne Francis." Britannica Book of the Year, 2012. Encyclopædia Britannica Online.

Anne Francis (middle name Lloyd) was born Anne Francis. The whole story about the name change was a joke. I am Anne's first cousin. My mother and her mother were sisters. Anne was an only child. Her parents had three sons who all died before their first birthday prior to her arrival on 9/16/1930. Anne's mother, Edith was the model of a stage mother and got her into magazine modeling and radio before she went to Hollywood.
"Preternaturally talented" and "otherworldly" aren't encyclopedic in tone and I believe, represent opinion rather than fact. I have no doubt the lady was a talented performer and well regarded but the entry reads more like a fan page than a Wikipedia entry. SamXT ( talk) 22:25, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
