Sylvia Leeds Kent (Alfred Hitchcock Presents)

Sylvia Leeds Kent (Ann Todd; 1909-1993) is the titular villainess from "Sylvia," episode 3.16 of Alfred Hitchcock Presents (airdate January 19, 1958). She is the daughter of John Leeds, who shows concern for Sylvia when he learns that she purchased a handgun. His belief was that Sylvia was planning to kill her ex-husband, Peter Kent, who left her over money and returned to town under Sylvia's request. In actuality, Sylvia planned to kill her father, as she felt that he had been controlling her throughout her entire life.
In the episode's climax, Sylvia vented to John over him never letting her have anything of her own--including a husband. She had found out about John's intervening in her attempt to get back with Peter, and after her venting, the evil Sylvia pointed her gun at John and shot him to death. After killing John, Sylvia kneels down and cries over her father not "letting her go."
