Anne Francis

She tried very hard to become a big movie star but it never worked out for Anne Francis.  She was a looker with her curly blonde hair, sky-blue eyes and a beauty mark on the right of her lower lip.  Maybe it was her outspokenness that did her in.  Maybe she was too much the nymphet for some.  Whatever it was, two major studios gave her a try (one of them twice) and then off she went to the world of television.
