<DIV><BR></DIV>The two big stars of "Forbidden Planet" (although maybe Robbie
the robot was the true star), Leslie Nielsen and Anne Francis gone within
weeks of each other. "Forbidden Planet" has to be one of my ten
favorite movies. Great twist on Shakespeare and the Id, solid acting and
Anne Francis in a very short skirt. Who could ask for
more?<BR> <BR>> Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2011 06:32:09 -0800<BR>> From:

‘Forbidden Planet’ actress Anne Francis, 80, dies<BR>> Role in ‘Honey West’
earned Emmy nomination<BR>> <BR>> LOS ANGELES – Actress Anne Francis,
who was the love interest in the 1950s<BR>> science-fiction classic
“Forbidden Planet” and later was a sexy private<BR>> eye in “Honey West” on
TV, has died at age 80.<BR>> <BR>> Francis died Sunday at a Santa
Barbara nursing home.<BR>> <BR>> Francis, who had surgery and
chemotherapy after being diagnosed with lung<BR>> cancer in 2007, died of
complications of pancreatic cancer, her daughter,<BR>> Jane Uemura, told
the Los Angeles Times.<BR>> <BR>> Francis, a stunningly beautiful blonde
with a prominent beauty mark,<BR>> appeared opposite such stars as Spencer
Tracy, Paul Newman, Robert Taylor<BR>> and Glenn Ford in some of the most
popular films of the 1950s. But<BR>> “Forbidden Planet” and “Honey West”
made her reputation.<BR>> <BR>> “Forbidden Planet” was hailed in Leonard
Maltin’s “2006 Movie Guide” as<BR>> “one of the most ambitious and
intelligent films of its genre.”<BR>> <BR>> A science-fiction retelling
of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” the 1956 film<BR>> had Leslie Nielsen and
other space travelers visiting a planet where<BR>> expatriate scientist
Walter Pidgeon, his daughter (Francis) and their<BR>> helper, Robby the
Robot, built a settlement.<BR>> <BR>> Before filming began, the actors
held a meeting and agreed “to be as<BR>> serious about this film as we
could be,” Francis said in a 1999 interview.<BR>> <BR>> “We could have
hammed it up, but we wanted to be as sincere as we could,”<BR>> she
said.<BR>> <BR>> In “Honey West,” which aired from 1965 to 1966,
Francis’ private detective<BR>> character – who kept a pet ocelot, a
wildcat – was a female James Bond:<BR>> sexy, stylish and as good with
martial arts as she was with a gun.<BR>> <BR>> She was nominated for an
Emmy for the role, which lasted 30 episodes.<BR>> <BR>> “A lot of people
speak to me about Honey West,” Francis recalled. “The<BR>> character made
young women think there was more they could reach for. It<BR>> encouraged a
lot of people.”<BR>> <BR>> -------------<BR>> <BR>> Who can forget
