Lysette Chodzko (born 26 September 1963), known professionally as Lysette Anthony, is an English actress and model. She is perhaps best known for her roles in the Woody Allen film Husbands and Wives (1992), the first series of the ITV comedy-drama series Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, the BBC sitcom Three Up, Two Down and her role as Marnie Nightingale in Hollyoaks.
Anthony was born in Marylebone, London, the only child of actor Michael Adam Anthony (né Chodzko), an actor from Jersey, and actress Bernadette Milnes. The couple later divorced. Anthony's French-born paternal grandfather, Alexander Victor Chodzko, was a mariner and journalist of Polish descent.
Anthony's childhood was made difficult by her mother's manic depression and schizophrenia and she left home at 19. Her mother was accidentally killed in a house fire in 2012. Anthony gave an interview in February 2013 to the Daily Mail detailing her mother's troubles, and her own determination to raise more awareness about mental illnesses.
In 1980, at age 16, Anthony was heralded as the "Face of the Eighties" by photographer David Bailey. She was a successful model before she became a household name as an actress at the age of 20.
Anthony's films include Krull (1983), Night Train to Murder (1984), the Dutch film Zoeken naar Eileen (1987), Without a Clue (1988), Switch (1991), Husbands and Wives (1992), The Pleasure Principle (1992), Look Who's Talking Now (1993), The Advocate (1993), Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995), Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde (1995), Robinson Crusoe (1997), Misbegotten (1998), Tale of the Mummy (1999), Farewell to Harry (2002) and We Still Kill the Old Way (2014). She appeared in TV adaptations of Ivanhoe (1982), Princess Daisy (1983), The Lady and the Highwayman (1989), the Michael Caine miniseries Jack the Ripper (1988) as Mary Jane Kelly, and the TV film Trilogy of Terror II (1996).
