Anya Ormsby

Actor · Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Anya Ormsby was a very attractive and appealing brunette actress who appeared in three movies during her regrettably short-lived career. Ormsby made a solid and impressive debut as flaky New Age hippie chick Anya in the funny low-budget horror zombie comedy cult favorite "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things." She was likewise fine as traumatized Vietnam veteran Richard Backus' concerned sister Cathy in the excellent fright feature "Deathdream" and once again good as a feisty prison inmate who escapes from jail in the entertainingly trashy exploitation romp "Thunder County." Alas, following her guest appearance on the TV show "Caribe" Anya called it a day as an actress. She's the former wife of screenwriter Alan Ormsby.
