Information About

Anne-marie Martin




Martin also played Gwen Davies on the Soap Opera '' Days Of Our Lives '' in the early 1980s. Prior to 1980 , she acted under the name "Eddie Benton" and appeared in films such as '' Prom Night '' and numerous TV series guest roles. Among these were Stella Breed, a woman with Psychokinetic powers in the '' Buck Rogers In The 25th Century '' episode "Twiki is Missing", and an officer who faces an amputation after injury in the line of duty on '' T.J. Hooker ''. Prior to this she appeared in '' H. G. Wells' The Shape Of Things To Come '', a low-budget science fiction film that capitalized on the popularity of ''Buck Rogers'' (Martin was made up to resemble Erin Gray 's ''Buck Rogers'' character, Wilma Deering .) She was also a regular on the short-lived 1977 series ''Rafferty'' opposite Patrick McGoohan .

In the early 1980s, she was praised for a '' Highway To Heaven '' episode in which she and Victor French traded bodies. Alan Spencer , who created ''Sledge Hammer'', loved this episode and chose her for the Doreau role; he also wrote an episode of the series that allowed her to, if not exactly change bodies with Sledge Hammer, at least impersonate him.

Martin married author Michael Crichton (his fourth wife) in 1987 and following the cancellation of ''Sledge Hammer!'' retired from television and film acting. In the 1990s, Martin co-wrote, with Crichton, the screenplay to the 1996 film '' Twister ''. The couple separated in 2001 and a divorce settlement was reached in 2003.

According to ''Sledge Hammer!'' creator Alan Spencer , she was reportedly considering reentering the acting field as of early 2005.
