Whitfield started acting as a child in Hollywood. Her big break came when she was 15, playing Susan Waverly in “White Christmas.”

“Just last December, during the holidays, Annie watched ‘White Christmas’ with her family on the movie’s 70th anniversary,” her obituary said.

After that, Whitfield appeared in many TV shows before leaving Los Angeles in the 1970s.

In Olympia, she earned a college degree and worked for clean water at the Department of Ecology for the State of Washington.

Even after retirement, Whitfield stayed busy as an activist and community organizer. Her obituary mentioned that she hiked in the Dolomite Mountains of the Italian Alps for her 85th birthday.
