Daphne Ashbrook (born 30 January 1963 in Long Beach, California) played Dr. Grace Holloway, companion of the Eighth Doctor in the 1996 television movie. To this date, she is the only American to portray an on-screen companion in the series (notwithstanding the publicity that maintained the fiction that Nicola Bryant was American). Ashbrook also portrayed Perfection in the Big Finish Productions audio drama The Next Life. In 2011, she returned to Big Finish to play UNIT Capt. Ruth Matheson in AUDIO: Tales from the Vault and AUDIO: Mastermind. According to an interview with her included on the latter release, rights issues prevent her from being able to reprise the role of Grace for Big Finish.
Among her many other television and film roles was her guest-starring role as Ensign Melora Pazlar in an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine alongside series regular and Big Finish contributor Alexander Siddig. In 2011 she published an autobiography, Dead Woman Laughing, and also recently released her first album.
