 Anne Francis facts

• Forbidden Planet marked a first in color, big budget, science-fiction themed motion pictures
• Nine years later, Francis shattered female stereotypes in Honey West, in which she played a perky blonde private investigator who was as quick with body slams as witty one-liners
• It was the first weekly TV series that featured a woman in the lead role and was named after her character
• She earned a Golden Globe Award and Emmy Award nomination for her performance
• Francis was well known for striking physical assets – long and shapely legs, flowing blonde hair, mesmerizing blue eyes and a trademark mole just to the right of her lower lip
• The beauty mark was even written into the script of one of her films
• In 2005, TV Guide ranked Francis at No. 18 on its "50 Sexiest Stars of All Time" list
• Yet there was far more to the preternaturally poised, immensely talented Francis than mere looks
• "Her beauty cloaked her brains without obscuring them," Time magazine eulogized in 2011 shortly after her death"
• In one sense, she was a blend of Hollywood's two most popular female types in the ’50s: the bombshell blonds (Marilyn) Monroe and (Jayne) Mansfield — an adolescent's notion of squeaky-voiced sexuality — and smart, slim vixens like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly
