In 1956, Anne appeared as Altaira in Forbidden Planet, a quite literate and well-produced "A" picture (based upon William Shakespeare's The Tempest), released by Metro Goldwyn Mayer, co-starring Walter Pidgeon and Leslie Nielsen. Playing the naive daughter of Pidgeon's brilliant but conflicted Dr. Morbius (the "Prospero" character from "The Tempest"), she added a needed touch of budding sexuality to shake up the otherwise wooden acting talents of her intended love interest, a serious starship captain Leslie Nielsen. The role garnered her a generation of baby-boomer sci-fi fans. Forbidden Planet is a 1956 science fiction film and a subsequent novelization by W.J. Stuart. ...

In 1965, Francis turned to series television and was cast as "Private Eyeful" Honey West. The character was initially introduced on the popular TV series Burke's Law. Although the half-hour Honey West lasted only one season, the role added lustre to the actress' reputation. Anne is still widely recognized, as indicated in the lyrics of the song Science Fiction Double Feature from The Rocky Horror Show. During the 1981-82 television season, she had a recurring role as Alyssa Cooper on Dallas. Burkes Law was a detective series which ran on ABC from 1963 to 1966, and then again on CBS from 1994 to 1995. ...
