Anne Byrne Kronenfeld[1] (born September 28, 1943[2]) is an American actress. She had a small role as the wife of Woody Allen's philandering best friend in Manhattan (1979), and also appeared in Why Would I Lie? (1980) and A Night Full of Rain (1978).

Byrne and Dustin Hoffman lived on West 11th Street in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. In 1970, members of the Weather Underground, a group of left-wing militants planning a terror bombing of Columbia University and Fort Dix in New Jersey, were killed by a premature detonation of explosives they had been stockpiling in the house next door to the couple. Dustin Hoffman can be seen in footage from the scene.[3]
