Ann was played by actress Jan Miner, who also portrayed Boston Blackie's girlfriend, Mary Wesley. However, she became most famous to my generation as Madge, the manicurist in the Palmolive dish washing detergent ads.

There are always romantic overtones between them, but their relationship is not overtly stated in any of the episodes I have heard.
