Looks like she was trying to look like Gordon Ramsay. But maybe that is just me...

Talented lady. She must have been in hundreds of various episodes of you name it Food Network shows.

In the early years she had a goofy hairstyle whereas she could have fit right in with that old UK band “Flock of Seagulls”

“Burrell released a statement in 2012 confirming that she had been in a relationship with her girlfriend, chef Koren Grieveson...” - Wikipedia

We’re both correct. I was more worried about my memory, than anything else.

In the 90’s until she fell in love with her current husband. Celebrity is a weird thing.

Born: September 21, 1969 Cazenovia, New York, USA

Died: June 17, 2025 New York City, New York, USA (undisclosed)

Spouse: Stuart Claxton (roughly three years younger than Anne), April 21, 2020 - June 17, 2025 (her death, 1 child)

So she married in April of 2020, at the age of 50 - and then had a baby?!

Explanation:

Stuart brought a son, Javier, into their marriage from a previous relationship. Though not much is publicly known about Javier’s age (he’s believed to be a teenager), Anne adored him. The trio bonded over cricket matches, shared silly selfies, and blended seamlessly as a family. Anne often gushed about her stepson on Instagram [...]

She had sparse and wispy hair. She made every effort to give it volume. She just did not have much to work with.

Wasn’t she Michael Symon’s sous chef on the Iron Chef series?
