Anne Curtis (born Anne Ojales Curtis Smith on February 17, 1985 in Australia) is a Filipino-Australian commercial model and former Kapuso actress who moved to the kapamilya channel.

Curtis was born and raised in Australia by a Filipina mother and an Australian father.

Anne is the eldest daughter of Carmen Ojales, a Filipina and James Smith, an Australian lawyer. At age 12, they had their vacation in the Philippines but it later became permanent through Anne’s discovery by a talent manager while eating at a fast food chain Jollibee with her dad and her mom in 1997. It is a move that Curtis is thankful for. “I am so happy that I’m here. If I were in Australia I‘d have been in a boarding school! My dad was strict when it came to education. He kept on discouraging me when I tried doing commercials, saying that they are just tricking me to get out of school. We lived in the country, so we’d be asleep around 8 or 9 p.m. It was really boring. But here there are so many gimmicks. As of now, being young, I prefer living here (in the Philippines) but maybe when I settle down, I’ll move back to Australia.”
