Ann Richards (13 December 1917 – 25 August 2006) was an Australian actress and author, who achieved notability in a series of 1930s Australian films for Ken G. Hall as Shirley Ann Richards before moving to the United States where she continued her career as a film actress, mainly as an MGM starlet. Her best known performances were in It Isn't Done (1937), Dad and Dave Come to Town (1938), An American Romance (1944) and Sorry, Wrong Number (1948). In the 1930s she was the only Australian actor under a long-term contract to a film studio, Cinesound Productions. She subsequently became a lecturer and poet.
She was born Shirley Ann Richards in Sydney, Australia, to an American father and New Zealand mother, and was raised in Mosman and educated at Ascham School Edgecliff. Richards began acting on stage in amateur productions for the Sydney Players Club and was working as a receptionist at the photographic students of Russell Roberts.
She was spotted in an amateur theatre production when selected for Cinesound Production's Talent School, where she worked for six months. This led to her casting as Cecil Kellaway's daughter in It Isn't Done (1937) for director Ken G. Hall at Cinesound Productions.

Plot: Without lights and in a driving rain, a bus is lumbering along the muddy Assam Road en route from Chunking to the Indian border. Passengers include Albert Pasavy ('Otto Kruger' (qv)), a European of unknown nationality; a missionary, the Rev. Dr. Van Der Liden ('Steven Geray' (qv));a French officer Major Raoul Brissac ('Ernst Deutsch' (qv) as Ernest Dorian), and Countess Olga Karagin ('Tamara Geva' (qv)), a White Russian. There is also Madame Woo ('Soo Yong' (qv)), an ancient Chinese lady on an important diplomatic mission to Indian, and her traveling companion, Ann Richards ('Ellen Drew' (qv)), an American Red Cross nurse. The trip is halted when Japanese planes bomb the road and hit a munitions truck and kill many Chinese soldiers. The Chinese commander puts the wounded soldiers on the bus and directs it to a nearby secret airport where the officer in charge is Captain Nick Stanton ('Robert Preston (I)' (qv)), an American attached to the Chinese Air Force. Stanton is ordered to fly the bus passengers to India and, before the take-off, he discovers that the Countess is a spy and he has her sent back to Chungking. Flying high over the mountainous, Japanese-infested country, the plane is attacked by Zero fighter planes and makes a crash landing in the jungle. Just before the radio goes dead, Stanton is informed by Chunking of Olga's suicide after confessing that her superior is aboard the India-bound plane. Stanton still has to get Madame Wu to India and Van Der Linden suggests that the Buddist monks in a near-by monastery will be happy to help. Or, perhaps, maybe they won't.

http://sariinfo.com/ While Holland Taylor tends to play women with big personalities fans might not know the actress actively stays away from too sweet roles.I don't think it's very real she says.Sometimes you see scripts when there's a mother who's just a cliché warm sweet mother. Well I don't know any of them so I would not know how to do that.If her lower back tattoo is any evidence of her true persona her role choices won't surprise.Maybe I am a naughty girl she says.

Ann Richards - 1988 Democratic National Convention Keynote Address
The stars are still on high but they don't twinkle anymore
Why does it seem they've lost their gleam
Somehow the lovely flowers no fragrance anymore
Where is their bloom their sweet perfume
Darling, that just shows what your goodbye can do
Until you return there's nothing I can do
Oh, there's a lull in my life
It's just a void and empty space when you are not in my embrace
Oh, there's a lull in my life
The moment that you go away, there is no night and no day
Clock stops ticking the world stops turning
Everything stops but the flame in my heart that keeps burning, burning
And oh, there's a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend I no you alone can end
The ache in my heart, the cold of my arms
The lull in my life
