The daughter of actors John_Archer and Marjorie_Lord, noted actress Anne Archer began her own career in the early 1970s, landing her first important film role in the 1972 Bob_Hope comedy Cancel_My_Reservation. A year later, Archer played the Natalie_Wood part in a TV-sitcom adaptation of Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice. Often cast in vulnerable, imperiled roles, the actress gave one of her most memorable performances as Michael_Douglas' wife in Fatal_Attraction (1987), for which she earned an Oscar nomination. She also proved her mettle as the wife of Harrison_Ford in both Patriot_Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994). In addition to being one of the industry's most reliable onscreen spouses, Archer has done solid work in such films as Robert_Altman's Short_Cuts (1993), in which she played a woman racked with moral conflict over her husband's questionable behavior during a weekend fishing trip.
