Her first film was Reform School Girl in 1957. She starred
in Roger Corman's The Pit and The Pendulum in 1961 with
Vincent Price and Barbara Steele. In 1963, she worked on
two films with producer Roger Corman and young director
Francis Ford Coppola, The Young Racers and, in her most
famous role as the mercenary daughter-in-law, Louise
Haloran, Dementia 13. Ms. Anders was featured in
The Trip (1967) with producer Corman, writer Jack
Nicholson, and actor Dennis Hopper (with whom she had
worked on Night Tide in 1961). She can be seen in
Robert
Altman's That Cold Day in the Park and, along with Dennis
Hopper and Jack Nicholson again, in Easy Rider, both from
1969. Jack Nicholson and producer Robert Towne used her
again in The Last Detail (1973) and The Missouri Breaks
(1976). Towne and actor-producer Warren Beatty featured
her in Shampoo (1975). She appeared in Personal
Best
(1982) with Robert Towne directing and wrote her own script
for Limit Up (1989). She appeared in two more Jack
Nicholson
films, Goin' South (1978) and The Two Jakes (1990),
the
sequel to Chinatown. Her last feature film appearance
was
in American Strays (1996) shortly before her death.
