Anne Archer

Anne Archer (born August 25 1947) is an American movie and TV actress. She was born in Los Angeles, California. Her parents were actors; this influenced her strongly as a child. She studied theater arts and succeeded in getting a role opposite Jon Voight in the 1970 movie The All-American Boy . This film and the following she made did not give her the recognition she sought. Her off-Broadway performance in 1981 helped her finally to get roles in the right movies to become a respected actress.

Her interpretation earned her an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress. In 1992, she won another Oscar for her performance in Patriot Games opposite Harrison Ford.

Probably best remembered for the previous two movies and Narrow Margin, the last co-starring Gene Hackman, Archer cites her performances in Mojave Moon and Dark Summer as the ones she is currently most proud of.
