Anna is a 1987 American comedy drama film directed by Yurek Bogayevicz and starring Sally Kirkland, Robert Fields, Paulina Porizkova, Steven Gilborn and Larry Pine.
Tonda, Anna's then-husband and a director of equally renown, was in Paris at the time of the invasion and has since become successful in the United States making music videos for MTV.
As Anna manages to land a gig as an understudy for an off-Broadway play, she also tutors Krystyna fluency in the English language and gives her a makeover.
Sheila Benson of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Anna "is the best kind of surprise--a small, frequently funny, fine-boned film set in the worlds of the theater and movies which unexpectedly becomes a consummate study of love, alienation and loss.
