#Quote
1[on being directed by Alfred Hitchcock in Frenzy (1972)] Early on he was concerned about every detail - clothes and colours and sets and dressings. But then he got slow physically. Off the set the only conversation that seemed to interest him was about food - he taught me how to make a good batter - and later I realised that this was apt at a time we were making a film so crowded with food.
2[on Alfred Hitchcock] He would always before a take tell you some dirty schoolboy joke. He did that to relax you because it relaxed him.
3I'm not instinctive. It takes enormous discipline and bravery to get me there [playing a role].
4Actors marrying each other is not a good idea.
5Theatre eats up too much of your family life. I have a grandson and a husband and I'd rather I was able to be a granny and a wife.
6My education finished at fifteen; if I'd stayed at school I'm not sure I'd have become an actor.
7I think however old and blind and prune-like one may look, the spirit that goes on inside you stays young and flirtatious.
#Fact
1She, her father Raymond Massey and her elder brother Raymond Massey all worked with Laurence Olivier: Raymond in Fire Over England (1937) and 49th Parallel (1941), Daniel in The Entertainer (1960) and Anna in Bunny Lake Is Missing (1965), David Copperfield (1970) and A Little Romance (1979).
2She was only two when her parents were divorced and she almost never met her famous father during her childhood (he was working mostly in America by then); she described their relations in her adult life as cordial but distant and said that being Raymond Massey's daughter was "rather like being one of the daughters of King Lear". She also called him the most self-absorbed man she had ever met, pointing out that both she and her brother Daniel had "Raymond" as a middle name.
3She lives in London, England. [January 2007]
4Had her only child at age 22 -- a son, David Raymond William Huggins (aka David Huggins) -- on August 14, 1959, with her first husband, the late actor Jeremy Brett.
5At the height of her affliction with depression and stage fright, she also suffered from anorexia, her hair consequently turning from chestnut to white.
6Had a strained relationship with her brother Daniel until a reconciliation in 1998.
7Her trademark bob haircut stemmed from a desire 'to look like Audrey Hepburn'.
8Ex-sister-in-law of Adrienne Corri and Penelope Wilton.
9Her father Raymond Massey insisted that Anna should have the middle name Raymond, even though it is a man's name.
10Disclosed in her 2006 memoir, 'Telling Some Tales' that she was often plagued by stage fright and depression.
11Was awarded the British Academy TV Award for Best Actress for her role in "Hotel du Lac" in 1986.
12Grandson, Dan Huggins, was born in 2002 to David Huggins and his wife, Madeleine Christie.
13Appeared with her former husband, Jeremy Brett, in the 1979 BBC television production of "Rebecca", where he played "Maxim de Winter" and she played his housekeeper, "Mrs. Danvers".
14Won a Tony Award nomination as Best Supporting or Featured Actress (Dramatic) for "The Reluctant Debutante" in 1957 at the age of 19.
15She was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2005 Queen's New Year Honours List for her services to drama.
16She was awarded the 1982 London Critics' Circle Theatre Award (Drama Theatre Award) for Best Supporting Actress of 1981 for her performance in 'A Kind of Alaska.".
17She was awarded the Laurence Olivier Theatre Award in 1983 (1982 season) for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for "The Importance of Being Earnest".
18Veteran director John Ford was her godfather.
19Younger sister of Daniel Massey.
20Daughter of the actors Raymond Massey and Adrianne Allen, grand-daughter of Chester D Massey, the wealthy owner of the Massey-Ferguson tractor company, and niece of the Canadian politician Vincent Massey.
