Anne is the secretary of Mr. Brooks at the United Broadcasting Company who comports herself in a rather abrasive manner.

Upon first meeting Jamie Hamilton, Anne tells her bluntly that other women are up for the on-air reporter position. Upon receiving a call for Hamilton from the police station, and from overhearing the conversation, she calls Brooks to the office, believing there may be a problem. However, a second phone call from Dr. Donald Mortinson comes to Anne's surprise, and Anne is ultimately responsible for bringing Brooks to the office while Hamilton is on the phone (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I").

Novelization depiction

In the novelization by Michael Resnick, this character is named Miss Davenport[1] and is Dana Anderson's secretary. Davenport is just as abrasive and blunt to Jamie Hamilton as her canonical analogue is to Hamilton in the 1980 pilot.[2]

Carolanne Adama is the former wife of Admiral William Adama, mother of Lee "Apollo" Adama and the late Zak Adama.

Biography

The Adamas' marriage was challenging from the start, as William Adama was often reassigned from base to base.

Her father was friends with an important member of the Defense Subcommittee; it was partly through this connection that her husband was able to reinstate both himself and Saul Tigh in the Colonial Fleet after their post-war furlough (TRS: "Scattered"). Since William returned to the Fleet twenty-three years before the events of the Miniseries (Sources:Adama's Dossier), it stands to reason that he and Carolanne were married some time before that.

Carolanne knew Bill's longtime friend Saul Tigh and his wife Ellen. Ellen would later remark that Lee was the spitting image of Carolanne (TRS: "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down").

Due to William's commitments to the Colonial Fleet, Carolanne raised both children by herself. The strain of William's absence and his commitment to the Colonial Fleet caused the Adamas' eventual divorce.

Carolanne suffered mood swings that upset the others in her family, according to her oldest son, Lee. Later drinking binges after the divorce prevented her from fulfilling (and later apologizing for) promises she failed to keep. Lee Adama believed that, while his father loved his mother, the reverse was not true (TRS: "A Day in the Life").

Adama and her husband had little contact since their divorce. At the time of the Cylon Attack, Lee Adama tells his father that she is getting married to someone else (TRS: "Miniseries").

It is presumed that Carolanne Adama perished in the Cylon attack. William Adama takes the occasion of his wedding anniversary each year to recollect his late ex-wife's memory (TRS: "A Day in the Life").

Notes

  • Carolanne Adama was first referred to as "Caroline Adama" in the first season episode "Act of Contrition". In the second season episode "Scattered," during a flashback to William Adama and Saul Tigh's days aboard a tramp freighter, Adama refers to his new wife as "Anne". William Adama's wife was referred to as "Carolanne" for the first time in the third season episode "The Passage".
  • According to the extended editing session podcast for "A Day in the Life," Carolanne's name was originally Caroline. RDM and the other editors note that the change occurred when Olmos used the name Carolanne instead of Caroline. Ever since, Adama's wife has been called Carolanne by the staff.

Anne Jeffreys (born January 26, 1923-September 27, 2017) was an American actress who portrays Siress Blassie in "The Man with Nine Lives".

Born in Goldsboro, North Carolina, she first appeared Sarah Crane in the 1942 film Billy the Kid Trapped, but had acted in opera and musical theater before her entry into film and television.[1]

With long-term husband Robert Sterling, she appeared in the CBS sitcom Topper (1953–1955), in which she was billed in a voiceover as "the ghostess with the mostest".

Jeffreys' guest starring role in the Original Series is notable namely due to her work with Fred Astaire, who portrayed Chameleon, as she is the last woman to have danced with Astaire on screen.[1]

The accent used to in her portrayal of Siress Blassie is her own, she also notes that she did not audition for the role, and jumped at the chance upon finding out she would be acting with Astaire.[1]

Following her stint in the Original Series, she appeared in Glen A. Larson's genre series, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century as Zantia's Prime Minister in the episode "Planet of the Amazon Women" (co-starring Felix Silla).

Jeffreys died on September 27, 2017 at her home in Los Angeles at the age of 94.

Anne Lockhart (born Anne Kathleen Maloney on September 6, 1953) is an American (USA USA) actor. She played the character of Sheba in the original Battlestar Galactica.

Biography

Born in New York, NY, to parents June Lockhart and Dr. John Maloney, Lockhart was raised in Brentwood, California. She is a fourth generation performer; Her great-grandfather, John Coates Lockhart, was a professional concert singer, and was once in the 48th Highlanders' regimental band as well as the Kilties Band in Canada. Her grandfather, Gene Lockhart and grandmother, Kathleen Lockhart both acted as well. They appeared together along with her mother June Lockhart in the original 1938 MGM classic, A Christmas Carol. Her mother is most well known from the television series Lassie and Lost in Space.

In 1986 she married assistant director Adam C. Taylor, the son of actor Buck Taylor (Newly O'Brien on Gunsmoke), and grandson of actor Dub Taylor. They had two children, Carly and Zane. Adam died in an accident in 1994.

Anne is an expert equestrian. She was won championships in cutting, reining, team penning, and barrel racing. In 1983, she helped found Pro-Celebrity Rodeos, a children's charity that has raised over 5 million dollars.

She currently lives in Southern California. Most of her time is now spent with family, doing voice work, and raising money for her children's charity though rodeos and convention appearances. She appears regularly with the Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival in Thousand Oaks, California, which she helped found in the 1990's as well as with the Santa Susana Repertore Theatre Company. She has said that she loves live acting, and really enjoys doing Shakespeare. Some of her favorite roles were "Mrs. Cratchit" in A Christmas Carol, "Calpurnia" in Julius Caesar, "the Nurse" in Romeo and Juliet, "Mistress Quickly" in The Merry Wives of Windsor, and "Queen Margaret" in King Richard III.

Early career

Lockhart's career started at a very young age. Her first role was at age four, when she starred in T is for Tumbleweed. This short subject film was nominated for an academy award. She spent time with her mother around the set, where she would learn about the workings of the business. Lockhart even appeared in several episodes of Lassie.

Her first movie was "Dora" in Jory in 1972. At age 18, she played the daughter of Joan Crawford in 1972 television series The Sixth Sense. It was Joan's last acting appearance. A popular rumor is that Anne turned down the role of "Laurie Strode" in John Carpenter's 1978 thriller Halloween, which was later cast for Jaime Lee Curtis. Mr. Carpenter says that he wanted her for the role, but that she turned it down. Anne does not remember being being contacted by John Carpenter, nor being offered the role. It is possible that one of her agents turned it down on her behalf without telling her.

She was initially chosen by Glen Larson, who sent her a very preliminary script, for a role in the 1978 television series Battlestar Galactica. She rejected the role initially, as the character wasn't that strong. Later, Glen wrote a new part just for her, with a much stronger character named "Sheba". After reading the first 25 pages of the script "The Living Legend," she accepted immediately. The show ran for one season.

She was a favorite of Glen Larson, and appeared in many of his other television series including The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, B.J. and the Bear, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (where she played two characters, "Jennifer/Leila Markeson"), The Fall Guy, Knight Rider and Airwolf. She did two episodes of Magnum P.I.: in one episode she plays the younger version of her mother's character, in the other she plays a younger version of herself.

Later career

Lockhart reunited with Noah Hathaway (who played "Boxey" in Battlestar Galactica) in the movie Troll (1986), which also included her mother (June turns into Anne during the movie). She reunited with Donald Bellisario (Battlestar Galactica's producer and writer) in episodes of Airwolf, Quantum Leap and JAG. Anne worked again with Dirk Benedict (who played "Starbuck" in Battlestar Galactica) as "Sylvie" in his movie Cahoots (2001) which she also co-produced. They also worked together on a theatre production of The War of the Worlds, which Anne produced and won a REP Award for "Best Production of a Drama" (1998). She appeared as the sister of another Battlestar Galactica alumni, Jane Seymour (who played "Serina") in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

She starred with Desi Arnaz Jr. (son of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball), Melanie Griffith and Robert Carradine in the movie Joyride (1977), and co-starred with Michael Moriarty in the horror movie The Dark Tower (1987).

She appeared with Star Trek actors George Takei (Sulu) and James Doohan (Scotty), as well as Randy Quaid in the monster spoof Bug Busters (1998).

Most recently, she played "Miss Connors" in the 2004 movie Big Chuck, Little Chuck.

Anne's other notable film work include Slashed Dreams, Just Tell Me You Love Me, Young Warriors, E.T., Risky Business, The Oasis, A Dog's Tale, Daybreak and Disconnected. Her other notable television credits include Happy Days, Barnaby Jones, Emergency, Police Story, CHiPs, The Incredible Hulk, Voyagers, Murder, She Wrote, New Love American Style, Simon & Simon, Walker, Texas Ranger and L.A. Heat.

Anne has also done hundreds of commercials, including multiple spots for Crest Toothpaste, Hi Point Coffee, Shoney's, and McDonalds. She was also spokeswoman for KFC, Osco and Savon drugstores, as well as Acme, Skaggs, Star, and Buttery markets. Other commercials include Campbell's Soup, Joy Dishwashing Liquid, Polaroid Film, 7 UP, Folger's, Hertz and Embassy Suites.

She is highly in demand providing voice work, having done over 100 television shows and movies. The movies include The Fifth Element, Starship Troopers, Back to the Future I and II, Antz, Prince of Egypt, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Predator II, Project X (where she impersonates chimps), The Rocketeer, The Three Musketeers, Lethal Weapon 3, Scenes From a Mall and Turner and Hooch and she recently did voice work for the new Disney animation Chicken Little.

Warning: Default sort key "Saunders, Anne Cofell" overrides earlier default sort key "Lockhart, Anne".

Anne Cofell Saunders was a writer on Battlestar Galactica. She currently is the Co-Producer for a new NBC series named "CHUCK".[1]

Saunders worked as an assistant to the Executive Producer and was the head researcher on 24 for several years, until she was given a freelance script on the show in 2004. Immediately after writing her first episode of 24, she was hired to write for Battlestar Galactica. She was a regular writer on the second season and contributed to four episodes. For the third season she became the series story editor and wrote two episodes, "Torn" and "Dirty Hands," before departing the series.

In an interview in May 2006, [2] Saunders expressed admiration for her fellow BSG writers, Mark Verheiden, David Weddle, Bradley Thompson, Jeff Vlaming, and Carla Robinson, calling them "some of the strongest writers Hollywood can offer" and said that Executive Producer Ron Moore continues to surprise and challenge the writers to take risks, such as with the Season 2 finale's (TRS: "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II") shocking one-year leap forward in time, an episode Saunders is proud she wrote.

Either by luck or design, Saunders has created or written some of the strongest female characters on BSG, including Admiral Cain, Starbuck and Laura Roslin. "I feel a strong affinity with Starbuck's character," Saunders said in the interview. "As a woman, wouldn't it be great to be a fighter pilot? To be that outrageously tough chick?"

Having the chance to write for Laura Roslin, the teacher who becomes the colonies' president, is something Saunders said she really looked forward to because of her own background in teaching. "I taught at the university level, and I taught high school in Japan, and the one thing a teacher has to do is set parameters and have a strong presence," Saunders said. "You have to love Roslin when she said (to Adama), 'You have to kill her (Cain).' To me, she was drawing her line in the sand."

Saunders and her husband are major science fiction fans, with the rooms in their house lined with books from authors like Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbert and Orson Scott Card. She believes revealing how much of a sci-fi fan she is to Ron Moore is one the reasons she got hired. "It’s not every day that he meets women who are nuts for sci-fi," she said.
