Nanette Newman (born 29 May 1934) is an English actress and author.
“Bryan was committing suicide under a train. He came up on to the platform and introduced himself. I said: 'How nice to meet you, Mr Forbes. There’s a chance I might be in your film.’ He said: 'Well, I’m afraid this is the last day of shooting. They’ve brought you here under false pretences.’ He drove me home to make sure I was OK – and that was it. ... So, at the age of 17, I did the cleverest thing I’ve ever done: said yes when Bryan asked me to marry him. I don’t think I’ve topped that.”
Newman and Forbes married on 27 August 1955, and had two daughters, Emma Forbes and Sarah Standing. They were married for 58 years, until Forbes' death in 2013. In her first interview after Forbes' death, Newman explained that one of the reasons they were able to keep their marriage together was Forbes' rule that he always brought his family with him if he was working overseas for any period longer than two weeks.

The film follows the story of an Arizona girl, Sarah Brown (Tatum O'Neal), who is orphaned when her parents are killed in a car crash. She is sent to England to live with her aunt Velvet Brown (Nanette Newman) and Uncle John (Christopher Plummer). When Velvet was a similar age to Sarah, she and her horse, The Pie, entered the legendary Grand National horse race and won; however, she was instantly disqualified because she was an adolescent female. The Pie is ultimately put out to stud upon his retirement. He sires his last foal after Sarah's arrival in England. Sarah and Velvet are present for the birth of this foal and Sarah eventually decides that she'd like to purchase him. She later finds out that her Aunt Velvet has bought him for her. Sarah aptly names him "Arizona Pie" (combining the name of his sire and the state in which Sarah lived). She shows enough talent to be selected for the British Olympic team, where she is the junior, but she does well under the stern guidance of Captain Johnson (Anthony Hopkins). Sarah lives up to her dream and enters the Olympic Three Day Event helping Great Britain win the team competition. She falls in love with an American competitor and moves back to America with him. At the conclusion of the film she gives her Olympic gold medal to her Aunt Velvet. Sarah introduces her fiance by saying: "Scott, I would like you to meet my parents".
