Who am I?

Barney’s poser is a tough one today.

“I was born,” says Sean, reading Barney Sloan's daily quiz question, “in 1939. I was an actor and model and appeared for six years in one of TV’s most popular soaps. I was one of the last two debutantes to be presented to Queen Elizabeth in 1958, in the final such ceremony at Buckingham Palace and made my film debut in a film which saw the introduction of an iconic British spy. In the sixties I played the female lead in a well-known TV series which was the first to be filmed in colour for British TV. I was usually cast as a ‘glamour girl’ in other TV series of the time, including The Saint, The Avengers, The Sweeney, and Bergerac, and I provided the love interest of Det Ch Insp Keene in a popular TV police series. In the late 70s I appeared in two films starring Joan Collins based on novels by her sister. I had an off-screen relationship with my on-screen husband in the TV soap mentioned and six weeks before his death I married him. Who am I?”

With music from The Shakin' Stevens, Boney M, Jimmy Buffett, and more.
