Merry Anders(1934-2012)
- Actress
- Soundtrack
Merry Anders practically grew up in local bijous watching films and
their accompanying stage shows with her movie-crazy mother and
grandmother. The family relocated to Los Angeles in 1949 and, while
attending John Burroughs Junior High School, Anders made the
acquaintance of Rita La Roy, an old-time film actress who convinced her to
take a modeling course. Later, to help her with her modeling, she took
dramatic lessons at the Ben Bard Playhouse and was "spotted" by a 20th
Century-Fox talent scout in a Playhouse stage presentation. After
several years at Fox, Anders turned freelancer, working in TV as well
as starring in a string of modestly budgeted Western, science fiction
and horror films.
