Anna Massey

Anna Massey (l.) with Karlheinz Böhm in Peeping Tom (1960)

Today is the 73d birthday of actress Anna Massey, who shot to fame in Michael Powell's controversial movie Peeping Tom. It was actually her second movie; her first was as the teenage daughter of the main character in Gideon of Scotland Yard (also known as Gideon's Day). Massey has been extremely active in her career, although that's included more British TV than movies. Among the movies she appeared in after Peeping Tom are Bunny Lake is Missing, and Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy. With the exception of Gideon of Scotland Yard, the above movies are all available on DVD -- and the Gideon movie could use either a DVD release or another showing on TCM.
