Hall of Fame." One of her last roles was as the grande dame in NBC's daytime soap opera "Santa Barbara." She starred in the serial from its debut in 1984 until 1987. The Australian-born actress had lived in this coastal city about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles since 1950. A British subject, she was given the title dame by Queen Elizabeth I in 1960. Miss Anderson chased an acting career to this country in 1918. But Hollywood in its silent days paid no attention to an excruciatingly thin and awkward girl from Adelaide.

So she went to New York and pursued a theater job. On Broadway, she eventually played a much-lauded Lady Macbeth. But it was her performance in Robinson Jeffers' "Medea" that many critics considered her best work. She agreed to star in a revival of the. Greek Euripedes tragedy only if her favorite poet, Jeffers, would do the adaptation.

Known for California poetry, Jeffers wedded that style to the story of a barbarian princess who Check presented kills her children in an act of vengeance against her adulterous husband. Other stage roles included Lavinia in Eugene O'Neill's "'Mourning Becomes Electra" and Delia in the Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Old Maid." In 1970, at age 72, she toured the United States playing "Hamlet." Besides "Rebecca," her films included "King's Row" a 1941 film that featured a young Ronald Reagan; "And Then There Were None" (1945); "Salome" (1953); "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958); and "Don't Bother to Knock" (1961). In a 1961 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Miss Anderson complained, "People always think of me as playing these terrible, terrible women but no one remembers the pleasant people I've played Mary the mother of Jesus, and so many others. I haven't always been an ogre." Anderson was briefly married twice, many years ago. She had no children.
