Biografia

Was in a relationship with actor Stewart Bevan who played Professor Cliff Jones on her final Doctor Who serial The Green Death. They remained good friends until Bevan's death in 2022.

In common with her Doctor Who (1963) co-star Nicholas Courtney, she trained at Webber Douglas Drama School.

Dated Jimi Hendrix in the 1960s.

Childhood friend of Liza Minnelli.

Originally given a small role as a French au-pair girl in one episode of Man at the Top (1970), however she impressed the producers during rehearsals so they instead gave her a different substantially larger role in two episodes.

[on The Dæmons: Episode One (1971)] I suppose it was quite frightening for children. You had churches being blown up, the villain posing as a kindly vicar and me, the hapless heroine nearly being sacrificed to 'the devil'. It didn't go down too well with people of the cloth.

Life doesn't get easier but it does get funnier.

I've been a naughty girl. I think I've been about as naughty as you can get.

Jo [Doctor Who (1963)] was very endearing. Gutsy, fiercely loyal. I liked the fact she offered her life constantly for the Doctor's because she realised his work was so important.

I lose things all the time. I once left my mother's ashes at a bus stop!
