Cancer has claimed the life of Anne Francis, sexy star of more than 30 movies, including the 1956 sci fi classic "Forbidden Planet."

The actress, who underwent surgery and chemotherapy after being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2007, died of complications of pancreatic cancer at a Santa Barbara retirement home. She was 80.

In addition to her film work, Francis played a mannequin who comes to life in an episode of the TV series "The Twilight Zone" and had the title role in the 1960s series "Honey West," in which she played a private detective with a pet ocelot.

First Leslie Nielsen, now Anne Francis. The Bellerophon pattern is being woven again. The next attack on this cast will be more deadly and…

RIP Altaira :cry You'll be missed.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ann Francis at a Forbidden Planet Reunion in Orlando in Nov 1998. She was a classey lady and still a beautiful women at 67. Very friendly and down to earth. Had a very nice conversation with her.

There are still cast members from FP still alive. Richard Anderson, Warren Stevens, Earl Holiman, James Drury, James Best.

Leslie Neilson and now Anne Francis. I feel fortunate to have gotten her autograph a few years back. Thoughts go out to her family.
