Anne Ziegler

Anne Ziegler (22 June 1910 – 13 October 2003) was an English singer, known for her light operatic duets with her husband Webster Booth. The pair were known as the "Sweethearts in Song" and were among the most famous and popular British musical acts of the 1940s. 
She was born Irené Frances Eastwood in the Sefton Park area of Liverpool, and attended The Belvedere School. She trained as a classical pianist, and studied singing. In 1933 she began singing professionally as a soprano, changing her name to Anne Ziegler when she made her West End stage debut in 1934, in the chorus of By Appointment. The same year, she was chosen to play Marguerite in a film, The Faust Fantasy. While making the film she met and fell in love with the tenor Webster Booth, who was married at the time. In 1937, credited as Anne Booth, she appeared on Broadway as Sylvia Laurence in Arthur Schwartz's Virginia and, in 1938, Booth divorced his second wife and married Ziegler.

Annie's track with Webster Booth called 'The Second Minuet' was added to the Peelenium 1924. However, the year the track was assigned to the Peelenium was wrong, as Anne did not start singing professionally until 1933. Also in 1924, she would have been 14 years old and would not have known her husband, Webster Booth.
