Ann Darrow is an actress and one of the main characters of the 1932 novel, King kong.

Ann's parents died when she was young and she lived with an uncle who took her inheritance and treated her poorly. She escaped to New York, and became a former small role actress living in poverty since the studio she worked at had closed down. She was then found being wrongfully accused of stealing an apple by Mr. Denham, who took her to dinner and enticed her to join his film cast.

When film maker Mr. Denham, actress Ann Darrow, and crewmate Jack Driscoll traveled to Skull Island to shoot a film, Ann was kidnapped by natives and given as sacrifice to King Kong. Kong carried Ann into the forest, and Carl and Jack chased to save her. They fought a stegosaurus and a brontosaurus, and King Kong killed a tyrannosaurus that tried to eat Ann. Jack helped Ann escape from Kong's lair, and later knocked Kong out with a gas bomb.

They returned to America with Jack taking King Kong to Broadway and displaying him, chained up, as "King Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World". King Kong was enraged by the flashes of cameras, and escaped from his chains. He kidnapped Ann again and climbed up the Empire State Building, where four airplanes began shooting at him. Kong knocked down one of the airplanes, but got shot by the others. He fell off of the building into the street, and Jack took an elevator to reunite with Ann. Jack pushed through the crowd at the bottom of the building by Kong's corpse. When a policeman remarked that the planes killed him, Denham told him, "No, it wasn't the airplanes. It was Beauty killed the Beast"
