Anne-Marie Martin is a Canadian actress and writer (born November 11 1957 in Toronto, Ontario) who is best known for playing Sgt. Dori Doreau in the American television comedy series, Sledge Hammer! from 1986 to 1988. She also played Gwen Davies on the soap opera Days of Our Lives in the early 1980s. Prior to 1980, she acted under the name "Eddie Benton" and appeared in films such as Prom Night and numerous TV series guest roles. She was especially praised for a "Highway To Heaven" episode she co-starred in where she and Victor French traded bodies. Alan Spencer, who created Sledge Hammer, loved this episode and chose her for the Doreau role.
Martin married author Michael Crichton in 1987 and following the cancellation of Sledge Hammer! retired from television and film acting. In the 1990s, Martin co-wrote, with Crichton, the book upon which the 1996 film Twister was based.
