Anne Gee Byrd grew up a cowgirl in Ohio and was introduced to acting at the University of Toledo playing straight woman to the comic ingenue. She married David Byrd at the Erie Playhouse and had seven years working, mostly together, in repertory theatres in the east. "We noticed that many of the best roles were going to what we then arrogantly referred to as 'half assed television stars' so we decided to come to L.A. and become same", She told us.

Once there, she admitted, "we very quickly learned some humility and tremendous respect for any actor who could be even credible let alone good under the conditions of shooting most any television show."

She has had a varied career switching back and forth between television, film, and stage work. Some of her Film credits include work on Pol Crutchen's BOYS ON THE RUN Ron Logomarsino's RUNNING MATES and Joel Shumacher's EIGHT MILLIMETER. Her many TV credits include most of the top rated Network and Cable Shows over the past couple of decades.

Not long ago she had her musical debut in a Gilbert and Sullivan piece which led to an original "playsical" by David and Ain Gordon called FIRST PICTURE SHOW and then had the joy of playing Annie Maguire on Steven Bocho's PHILLY.

Regretfully her husband David Byrd, who had also amassed quite a respectible career as a "Working Actor" himself, passed away in January 2001, however Anne Gee continues her work and is presently learning to tap dance.
