Born and raised in Chicago, Meacham left to study drama at Yale University, graduating with a degree in 1947. Williams once wrote an editorial in The New York Times praising Meacham, noting "There"s nothing she won"t say or do onstage without any sign of embarrassment" (). She also portrayed roles in the Broadway productions of Candide and A Passage to India.
She also appeared in The Gnädiges Fraulein in 1966, and In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel in 1969.
Her final Broadway cr was as Queen Gertrude in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead in 1968. All of her stage appearances after 1968 (including In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel) were off-Broadway.
Anne Meacham died from undisclosed causes in Canaan, New York on January 12, 2006 at the age of 80.
