Anne Ziegler

Anne Ziegler (born Irené Frances Eastwood; 22 June 1910 – 13 October 2003) was an English singer, known for her light operatic duets with her husband Webster Booth.

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.

They made their first duet recordings for His Master's Voice in 1939, and in 1940 were asked to take their act on the Variety Circuit by theatrical agent, Julius Darewski.

They returned to the UK in 1978, settling in Llandudno in North Wales, and broadcasting and presenting An evening with Anne Ziegler and Webster Booth.

A biography of the couple, Sweethearts of Song: A Personal Memoir of Anne Ziegler and Webster Booth, by Jean Collen, was published in 2006.
