Anne Neyland

One of two siblings born in Gulfport, Mississippi, to Edwina and Robert Swayze Neyland, by age 16, Anne had entered her first beauty pageant on the way to a successful modelling career. When she was noticed by Hollywood in 1955, she was said to have held an impressive 30 titles to her name, including "Miss Texas'"and "Miss Body Beautiful". Although briefly glimpsed in the chorus line of Singin' in the Rain (1952) , she was properly 'introduced' some five years later as a newcomer to the screen in André De Toth's Copenhagen-set film noir Hidden Fear (1957) (playing John Payne's sumptuously attired girlfriend).
