annie sweetbaum
Annie was born to Swiss parents and spent her child-hood between Switzerland and the UK. Annie founded Arlington in 1975 originally to represent actors but then saw a gap in the market and made the very successful move over to representing lifestyle television presenters. Annie is married and loves travelling to new places and spending time with her ever expanding family who are now spread all over the world from the mountains of Switzerland to the sunnier shores of North Africa. She has a passion for theatre and opera which stem from her career as an actress, and a flare for interior design. Her acting claim to fame was playing the part of Imogen in the Forsyth Saga.
