Dorothy Anne Todd (24 January 1909 – 6 May 1993) was an English actress and producer.
Todd was born in Hartford, Cheshire, England, and educated at St. Winifrid's School, Eastbourne, Sussex.
Todd became a popular actress by appearing in such films as Perfect Strangers (1945) (as a nurse) and The Seventh Veil (1945) (as a troubled concert pianist). She is perhaps best known to American audiences as Gregory Peck's long-suffering wife in Alfred Hitchcock's The Paradine Case (1947).
In 1946, Todd was said to be the "holder of the most lucrative contract ever signed by an English cinema actress, with over a million dollars involved in its clauses."
Todd starred in two episodes of Playhouse 90: Not the Glory and The Grey Nurse Said Nothing.
In 1957, Todd starred in the Broadway production of Four Winds.
She later produced a series of travel films. Her autobiography is entitled The Eighth Veil, an allusion to the film which made her a star in Britain. Todd was known as the "pocket Garbo" for her diminutive, blonde beauty.

This film is generally regarded as one of David Lean's less successful directorial attempts, but not by me. It is a tightly controlled black and white telling of the true story of Madeleine Smith, a young lady living with her family in the house, which still stands, on the corner of Blythswood Square in mid 1850s Glasgow, and although Ann Todd (Mrs Lean at the time) was certainly too old at 40 to be playing a twenty-one year old, her iceberg coolness was perfect for the calculating poisoner that Madeleine was thought to be. Of all styles of murder - strangulation, shooting, stabbing, drowning or any other means, poison is the most cowardly and deceitful, being pre-planned with cunning and much malice-aforethought, and that's exactly what Madeleine Smith appeared the have been guilty of. ...
English actress of the 1940s best known for her role in Hitchcock's 'The Paradine Case' with Gregory peck.
*H Maddalena Anna Paradine συλλαμβάνεται με την κατηγορία ότι δηλητηρίασε τον σύζυγό της. Την υπεράσπισή της αναλαμβάνει ο Anthony Keane ο οποίος την ερωτεύεται και, πιστεύοντας ότι είναι αθώα, προσπαθεί να αποδείξει ότι ένοχος είναι ο υπηρέτης Andre Latour.* *Πρωταγωνιστούν: Gregory Peck, Alida Valli, Ann Todd, Charles Laughton, Louis Jourdan, Charles Coburn, Ethel Barrymore.* *Σκηνοθεσία: Alfred Hitchcock*
Unfortunately this is the only print of this film that I can find and throughout the focus appears to constantly fluctuate, which makes viewing somewhat unpleasant, but I found the movie so enthralling that I soon forgot the dire state of the print when watching it and for that reason I decided to post it here, with the hope that others might get past the quality of the print to the quality of the film itself, though many viewers, I'm sure, will switch off after a few minutes. However, this is an unusual court-room drama dominated by a towering performance from an unrecognisable Michael Redgrave under massive beard and moustache. Ann Todd adds her usual competent but slightly cool performance as Keiron Moore's wife, and he himself is throughly convincing as a blind, deaf, mute man accused ...
This rare film is unusual and interesting. Filmed in 1946 it wasn't released until two years later because of trouble with the censor - though on today's viewing one can only wonder what they found in it to condemn, though it may have been considered inappropriate to have Portman's character be a hangman. Eric Portman gives his usual brisk, clipped performance and Ann Todd has an adequate stab at a more ordinary accent than is usual for her. This was an extraordinary choice of subject to follow up her huge success in "The Seventh Veil", the subject matter being very low-key and not at all universal in appeal. However, the very unusualness makes the film particularly interesting. Maxwell Reed also give one of his better performances though his Scandinavian accent leaves a lot to be desired,...
This "B" mystery and horror movie gets mixed reviews from fans today, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Truthfully, you have to get past the initial introduction of train passengers which takes about 15 minutes to achieve. However, once they get stranded at the dark, secluded train depot, interesting, spellbinding events start to occur.

There's something broken in my heart
Oh it was nothing you done
There's something broken in my heart
I guess that's just the way it comes
There's something broken in my heart
Something I just can't fix
There's something broken
Something broken in my heart
I've tried every powder and every pill
To put it back together somehow
Rode high with the fool up on the hill
Come down with the draft horse and the plow
I've been to the land of milk and honey
And honey I'm broke down now
There's something broken
Something broken in my heart
I'm gonna go downtown tonight and find me a woman
Try to keep those jagged edges from my mind
And if I don't start a fight I'll just keep running
'Till I break on through into the morning light
There's something broken in my heart
Oh it was nothing you done
There's something broken in my heart
I know I'm not the only one
There's something broken in my heart
Something I just can't fix
There's something broken
