Anne Haney

Anne Haney held prominent roles acting on stage, on the screen, and on TV. All these achievements came in her mid-40s, after she had raised a daughter and buried a husband. It wasn't until after she had packed her daughter off to college and "the maid quit", as she said, that she decided to try her hand at acting. She was born in Memphis, Tennessee and studied drama, radio and TV at the University of North Carolina, where she met her husband, John Haney. She did apply her schooling briefly at a Memphis television station, but soon settled down with her husband and devoted herself to family life. "I was a lovely faculty wife. We made ambrosia salad. We did good works. We played a lot of bridge", she said of those times. By the 1970s, however, Haney began seeking work in local theatre productions and television commercials. Soon, she was traveling with a touring company performing as the maid in Noël Coward's "Fallen Angels". She toured for two years. Eventually, she joined the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of

Anne Haney; Actress

Anne Haney, the late-in-life character actress who portrayed the family court supervisor in “Mrs. Doubtfire,” Michael Douglas’ secretary in “The American President” and a nun in “Changing Habits,” had a novel explanation for going into the movie business.

“My husband died, my daughter went to college, the dog got fleas, and the maid quit,” she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 1985. “So I had to come to Hollywood.”

Haney, who appeared in about 50 motion pictures and television programs over the last two decades, died May 26 of congestive heart failure at her Studio City home. She was 67.

The actress’ unlikely Hollywood career, which began in her mid-40s, ran the gamut of mothers, secretaries, teachers, judges, patients, nurses, nuns and bag ladies.

She played a housekeeper on Robert Wagner’s 1985 television series “Lime Street” and on boxing champion George Foreman’s 1993 series “George.” She was a tough divorce lawyer on “Murder One,” the mother of a decapitated gay man on “NYPD Blue” and a leukemia patient on “ER.”

Biography

Anne Haney studied drama at the University of North Carolina, but instead of beginning her acting career, she fell in love, got married, and started a family. She began working in local theater productions and in television commercials before joining a theatrical touring company. It wasn't until the 1970s, when Haney was in her mid-40s, that she began to act professionally. Haney moved to Southern California, and in 1980, soon after arriving, scored a support role opposite Walter Matthau in the spy comedy "Hopscotch." She followed with appearances on the rollicking series "The Dukes of Hazzard" and the gender-swapping sitcom "Bosom Buddies." After working on numerous stage productions in California, and continuing to appear in a wide gamut of television shows--from the sci-fi staple "Star Trek: The Next Generation" to the coming-of-age sitcom "Boy Meets World"--she returned to "Bosom Buddies" territory with her role in the Robin Williams-in-drag comedy "Mrs. Doubtfire."
