Anne-Louise Lambert (born 21 August 1956) is an Australian actress whose acting career began with her role in "Number 96" in 1973. Anne shot to international stardom after playing Miranda in Peter Weir's classic film "Picnic at Hanging Rock" (1975). Director Peter Weir saw her in a television commercial for Fanta and felt she was perfect for the lead role as Miranda in "Picnic at Hanging Rock".

"Picnic at Hanging Rock" has been an important part of my life because of the fact that that photograph of me gets seen so much. The recognition that I get from that film just seems to go on and on and on.

The positives have probably outweighed the negatives because Picnic has had such a warm response from the public, and Miranda in particular seems to be a character that people respond very warmly to. People respond very warmly to me when they recognise me as Miranda, and that has made my world a much warmer and friendlier place to be. I’ve grown up with people smiling into my face with shiny eyes, hugging me and being thrilled when they make that connection, and that’s been extremely positive.

On the other hand, I have to keep finding a new relationship with the whole experience, with the film itself, what it means in terms of Australian history, what it means in terms of my life. I don’t always feel like doing it. I sometimes think, ‘What can I possibly say that I haven’t already said? Am I just repeating myself and is this all getting a bit tedious for people?’.
