Mini Biography
Anna started acting very young but, of course, not professionally. She loved watching plays and eventually produced her own with all the neighborhood children. She was always encouraged with the emphasis that she wasn’t just “pretending” but rather being an unpaid producer, director, writer and actor.
Her first paid job was at the Seattle Repretory theatre at age nine. She loved it and did other local plays and readings. After graduating from the University of Washington in English Literature, she decided to leave for London to work and write, but after filming (the less than wonderful) Lovers Lane (1999) and a short for the Seattle Film Festival, she decided to give Los Angeles a try. She signed with up with a wonderful management agency and before, she could catch her breath, Keenen Ivory Wayans casted her in Scary Movie (2000).
She never takes anything for granted and just feels so very fortunate to have been given a chance.( An example was her trying to thank all the journalists and photographers that came to the New York premiere.)
Spouse
Ben Indra (3 June 2004 - present) (filed for divorce)

Personal Quotes
“I try to keep my head on straight and take nothing for granted.”
I don’t really like to go out to clubs or anything. It’s just not my style. I’d much rather go to a dive bar or a local place. I just don’t love feeling awful, having to tell people, “Hi, yeah, I was in Scary Movie (2000). Do you mind if we come in?” I mean, it’s so awkward.
“I never imagined being able to make money from acting - and now I can.”
“They’ve [the Scary Movie series] given me a career but they’ve also sort of boxed me in. What really surprised me when I first moved here is that the industry thought of actors as either comedic or dramatic. And I’m still confused. I understand that maybe some people are better at one or the other, but I can’t understand why it’s so divided. I’ve been able to chip away at that a bit; I think it gets easier as my body of work expands.”
“Blythe Danner is somebody whose career I admire. She’s a great actress and does good work, but also has a life of her own. I love my job but, at the end of the day, I want to come home and watch a movie and drink a bottle of wine with my husband”.
