Judith Anderson was born Frances Margaret Anderson in Adelaide, Australia, on February 10, 1898, to an English mother and Irish father. The latter had made (then quickly lost) his fortune in silver mines while his four children were still young. At an early age Judith was given lessons in singing and piano, but displayed a talent for elocution. After winning top honors in an elocution contest for recitation, she signed on as an actress with a touring Australian stock theater company, making her professional debut in 1915 in Sydney in A Royal Divorce at the age of 17. Three years later she and her mother traveled to America to explore the possibilities of success in the fledgling American film industry. But a letter of introduction from her Australian theatrical managers to movie director Cecil B. DeMille did little to impress.

Australian actress Judith Anderson made her professional debut in Sydney at the age of seventeen. Early success in Australia encouraged Anderson to travel to the United States in 1917 in hopes of landing parts in Hollywood movies. She was unsuccessful... owing in part to the fact that the American film industry then favored tall actresses (Anderson was only five feet four inches tall). From this uncertain beginning, Judith Anderson would go on to become a leading actress throughout the 1930s and 1940s, and a well-known figure in theater, movies, and television until her death in 1992.

When she retired from Michigan State University in 1996, Judith Anderson moved to Miller Place, NY near Long Island Sound to live with her partner, a writer. While overseeing the building of her new studio, Anderson made carvings, a medium she has worked in for many years, in wood, bone and stone. Once the etching press was re-assembled, she returned to making edition etchings, exploring ... monoprints, graphite drawings and watercolors.
