Biography:Hailing from Texas, actress "Anne Wedgeworth" first appeared on Broadway in the 1958 production "Make a Million". She began making film appearances playing slightly tarnished golddiggers and seductresses in the early '70s. One of Ms. Wedgeworth's best appearances in this vein was in "Bang the Drum Slowly" (1973), in which she portrays the fading "baseball groupie" who hopes to leech off dying ballplayer "Robert De Niro". For her performance as Joyce Rissley in 1977's "Citizen's Band" (aka "Handle with Care"), Wedgeworth won the National Society of Film Critics award. Wedgeworth's TV credits include the same role on two separate '70s soap operas: she was Lahoma Vane Lucas on both "Another World" and its spin-off, "Somerset". She also had recurring roles on the weekly series "Three's Company" (appearing in the 1979-80 season as neighbor Lana Shields) and 1982's Filthy Rich (as Bootsie). "Ann Wedgeworth"... Full Biography
