Ann E. Todd

Ann E. Todd was an American child actress who appeared in almost 40 movies over a career of about 14 years and adopted a middle initial to set herself apart from the British actress Ann Todd. Born in Denver in 1931, she broke into films with Zaza (1939), directed by George Cukor, and was credited as Ann E. Todd on four movies. She played alongside stars including Ingrid Bergman, James Stewart and Bette Davis. From 1950 to 1953 she was a regular on The Stu Erwin Show. She later became a teacher and librarian, working as a reference librarian at the University of California, Berkeley, and founding Fallen Leaf Press, which issued music reference books and contemporary American chamber music until it closed in 2000. The Music Library Association honored her for lifetime achievement in 1993. She died in 2020.
