AnneFlannery

Anne Flannery's screen roles often saw her playing wife and mother — from the partner of missionary Henry Williams in episode one of television epic The Governor, to the wheelchair-bound and mute Mary Jackson in movie Heart of the Stag. In 1976 she was nominated for a Feltex Award after playing the title role in one-off drama The Woman at the Store. The actor and theatre director then won acclaim in Vincent Ward's adaptation of A State of Siege, which offered her a rare chance to take centre frame. Flannery played a repressed ex-teacher whose demons unravel in an isolated house. Flannery died in Sydney in July 2001.
