Lambton is the younger of five daughters of Antony Lambton (formerly 6th Earl of Durham) and his wife, Bindy (née Blew-Jones). Her father resigned from the government in disgrace in 1973 after being photographed in bed with prostitutes, and also disclaimed his earldom. Her elder sister, Lucinda, is a British writer, photographer, and broadcaster.[1]
One of Lady Anne's first roles was as Linda in Sid and Nancy (1986), followed by Sidney Platts-Williams in Half Moon Street (1986) and as the sinister "Woman in Black" in the 1990 film, The Witches (based on Roald Dahl's novel). More recent appearances include Brothers of the Head and Mrs. Henderson Presents (both 2005) and The Edge of Love (2008) as well as Gloria, the reporter, in Netflix's second season of The Crown.
Lady Anne and her sisters were written out of their father's will. Her younger brother, Edward Lambton, 7th Earl of Durham, sued his sisters over their father's Tuscan villa, which they claimed they had a right to under Italian law.[4][5]
