Anneke Wills (born 20 October 1941 in Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland) played the First and Second Doctor's companion Polly from "The War Machines" to "The Faceless Ones.". She is sometimes credited in her dramatic works as Annika Wills and Anneke Willys.
She appeared in the show from 1966 to 1967 alongside William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton as the Doctor. (According to the DVD featurette Doctor Who Origins, she was also one of the actresses considered to play the Doctor's first companion, Susan Foreman.) Other television credits include appearances in The Avengers episodes, "Dressed to Kill" and "The £50,000 Breakfast," and as Evelyn in Strange Report.
Anneke Wills has played various other characters in the Doctor Who audio plays produced by Big Finish Productions, most notably Zagreus and The Next Life in the role of Lady Louisa Pollard, mother of the Eighth Doctor companion Charley Pollard. At one time she was married to Michael Gough, who had made memorable appearances in Doctor Who as the Celestial Toymaker and the renegade Time Lord Hedin.
