Anne Shirley (born Dawn Evelyn Paris; April 17, 1918 – July 4, 1993) was an American actress.

Beginning her career as a child actress under the stage name Dawn O'Day, she adopted the stage name of Anne Shirley after playing the title character in the film adaptation of Anne of Green Gables in 1934,[1] after which she achieved a successful career in supporting roles. Among her films is Stella Dallas (1937), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Shirley left the acting profession in 1944 at the age of 26 and remained in Los Angeles, where she died at the age of 75.[2]
