Anna
Pitt enjoyed a successful career as an actress throughout the
1970s; in addition to her appearances in five episodes of Survivors, she also appeared in When the Boat Comes In (BBC), Bloodletting (BBC Scotland), and Coronation Street (Granada). As a
classically trained actress from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre
School, her preference was always for the theatre and she
worked extensively in rep including Newcastle, Perth,
Edinburgh, Lincoln, Crewe and Canterbury. She worked with
Lindsay Anderson in David Storey's Life Class (starring the late Alan
Bates) at the Royal Court, which transferred to the West End,
appearing as Stella, the nude model. At the end of the '70s,
Anna worked extensively in commercials, radio and voiceovers,
including appearing in the award-winning series of Vladivar Vodka ads as a Russian spy
posing as a ballerina!
In 1980, Anna made a career change and went into public
relations. She has since enjoyed a successful career with her
own PR consultancy in Covent Garden, which still exists today.
She currently spends her time between London and a beach house
in Sussex.
