Like her sister Effie, Anne, as she renamed herself, was a member of the Methodist Church. Her grandfather, Michael Bell Masterman, was a Methodist Lay Preacher (See Part 2 of Bette Masterman's autobiography). Anne was received as a member of the Walker Primitive Methodists in 1927 when she was 16.
Anne and her elder sister, Effie, were members of the Walker Premier Dramatic Society and took part in many amateur productions including works by George Bernard Shaw. In 1933, Anne played Lady Britomart in Major Barbara, Gloria in You Never Can Tell, and Mrs Farrel in Press Cuttings.
Anne worked for Walter Cox, a Fancy Goods and Hardware retailer, for many years and was highly thought of. Though he paid her badly, when she left his 
employ in 1937, Walter Cox wrote a glowing reference for her stating she was "a most consciensious and energetic employee". Anne was certainly energetic and threw herself whole-heartedly into everything she did.
