Anna's early life was marked by her father's military career, which led her parents to embark on international travels when she was just 8 years old. As a result, she was left in the care of a theatrical school, a decision that was ultimately influenced by her own desires, which were first expressed when she was just 3 years old. She had, in fact, already decided that she wanted to pursue a career in the performing arts.
Fast forward to September 1983, Anna landed a significant role in the popular British television series "Juliet Bravo," replacing Stephanie Turner as the character Insp. Kate Longton. This marked a significant milestone in her career, showcasing her talent to a wider audience.
In her personal life, Anna tied the knot with Christopher Morahan, a renowned figure in the BBC, having previously served as the head of plays. Together, they welcomed two beautiful daughters, Rebecca, born in 1976, and Harriet, born in 1978.
