ANNE BUYDENS | 100

Anne Buydens is an American philanthropist, producer, and occasional actress of German and Belgian descent. She was born Hannelore Marx but changed her name for professional reasons. During her adolescence, Anne and her family transferred to Belgium and she became a citizen there. She then continued on with her studies in Switzerland then eventually moved to Paris. In 1959, Anne became a citizen of the United States.

Anne is famous for her philanthropy, with notable contributions to the fight against Women’s Cancers and Alzheimer’s disease. She is versatile and is able to speak numerous languages, allowing her to do film subtitling as a result. She has been married to Kirk Douglas since 1954, and they have two sons. In 2004, Douglas and Anne renewed their wedding vows and eventually converted to Judaism. We hope she will never need a bankruptcy attorney and that her financial advisor keeps doing a good job for her to retire comfortably.
