Family Ties
Partners in Creativity
Anna has been married to her best friend, Todd, for 30 wonderful years. A fellow actor, Todd has guest-starred on shows like Breaking Bad, Lioness, and 1883. The two met on Anna’s very first professional acting job—an industrial training film for GTE—where she played a saloon girl serving a handsome cowboy.
The Whole Family
Anna and her husband Todd have two sons. Their eldest, Austin Terry, is a UT Austin graduate, actor, and writer working with Anna on the Tiny Circle script. Their youngest, Conner Coleman Terry, is an actor, singer-songwriter, and bodybuilder studying Kinesiology. His debut single, “When She’s Praying,” is out now on all streaming platforms.
The Conners and The Huffmans
Anna grew up on the road in the 70's, traveling from gig to gig with The Swingin' Conner Band. It was made up of her mother, Becky, and father, Donnie, along with her uncles, Jimmy, Larry, and Allan. The band was formed after a chance meeting between Donnie Huffman and The whole Conner family at a performance in Kansas in the 1960's. That real life meeting is the core of the Tiny Circle project.
