Anne Fremantle (born Anne Marie Huth Jackson; 1909–2002) was an English-American journalist, translator, poet, novelist and biographer.[1]
A Catholic convert, she was a prominent host in postwar New York. Evelyn Waugh called her "the smartest woman in America".[2] She published around 30 books and thousands of articles.[3]
At the start of the war she worked in London as an ambulance driver and BBC broadcaster. For the safety of her children, she moved to the United States, working in the British Embassy in Washington. She stayed in the US after the war, taking American citizenship, and converting to Roman Catholicism. The couple lived in New York, but increasingly spent time each year in Paris and Mexico, where Christopher Fremantle lectured to other followers of Gurdjieff. Eventually they bought property in Mexico. After her husband's death, Anne Fremantle returned to live in London, and died there on 26 December 2002.[3]
