ANOTHER STRANGE LOCAL SISTER ACT


Last week we told y'all about The Hilton Sisters, the infamous Siamese twins that were raised here in town. Well, here's another biziarre story. Ann Prentiss (born 1941 in San Antonio) is the younger sister of actress Paula Prentiss (shown above).
An actress in her own right, Ann had many bit parts in movies and television series in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Her best known part was in the TV series Captain Nice , where she played Carter Nash's girlfriend, Sgt. Candy Kane.
Ann continued acting into the late 1980s and early 1990s. She is also credited in some film and TV appearances as Anne Prentiss.
In July of 1997, Ann Prentiss was convicted in a Santa Monica, CA court of making terrorist threats, assault with a firearm, battery and solicitation to commit murder of her brother-in-law Richard Benjamin, and her father. As of 2004 she is serving a 19-year prison sentence for these crimes.
