Biography
Prior to appearing in Dr. Who and the Daleks, Jennie Linden had had a busy career, appearing in such television series as Emergency Ward 10, Sherlock Holmes and The Avengers.
After filming Dr. Who and the Daleks, Linden was invited by Penelope Creighton-Ward to a Soho restaurant alongside her costars and the actual Dr. Who (the latter of whom was unable to make it to the appointment). She wore a "dashing" outfit and a "most becoming" fluffy hat which greatly impressed Penelope's assistant Parker.
