Born in Ealing, London, Ankers moved to the US in the late 1940s. She did occasional Broadway costume design (Fancy Meeting You Again [1952]; My Sister, My Sister [1974]) and set design (Mr. Pickwick [1952]) but spent most of her career in television.
She appeared on Late Night as the "NBC Bookmobile Lady", "Peggy, the Foul-Mouthed Chambermaid", and on Late Show with David Letterman as various characters.[2]
She won two Daytime Emmy Awards for her work on The Rosie O'Donnell Show (2000[3] and posthumously in 2002[4]) and one Primetime Emmy for Late Show With David Letterman (1995).[5]
