Gender
FemaleBiography
From a very young age Anne Stallybrass has always wanted to be an actress, encouraged in that way by both her parents invoved in amateur dramatics and her teachers at school.
Trained at the Royal Academy of Music (Drama Gold Medal), she stayed a repertory actress all along the 60's, 70's and 80's. Theater stage has always been her first and true love.
Regular TV appearance pulled her out of anonymity when she played Jane Seymour character in The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1970).
But Anne is best known as Anne Webster Onedin (James Onedin's wife) in The Onedin Line TV series. If the series lasted 10 years, Anne left after the first two years to get back to the theater stage, be involved in other TV roles and keep from being type-casted. This type-casting problem might have harmed her Onedin partners Peter Gilmore (James Onedin) and particularly Jessica Benton (Elisabeth Frazer Onedin).
Anne was nominated for Best Actress by the Society of Film & Television Arts (now the BAFTAs) for The Onedin Line. She won the 1972 TV Times Best Actress on TV award for her role as Anna Strauss (The Strauss Family).
In 1987 Anne married Peter Gilmore. They live in a quiet stone cottage in Barnes (South West London) where Anne enjoys gardening and relaxing. They also have a small cottage in Dartmouth, Devon - where The Onedin Line was originally filmed.
