Eleanor Bron (born 14 March 1938[1]) played an art gallery visitor in the Doctor Who television story City of Death and Kara in Revelation of the Daleks. She also voiced Ileana de Santos in the Big Finish Doctor Who audio story Loups-Garoux.
Having been suggested by John Cleese to Graham Williams in the hopes of keeping the appearance devoid of publicity, Williams agreed and formally requested a pseudonymous credit for Bron on 17 May 1979.[2] In her case, it was not granted.[3]
She was also considered for the roles of Tanha in Snakedance, (TCH 36) Doctor Solow in Warriors of the Deep (TCH 38) and Sorasta in Planet of Fire. (TCH 39)

Beyond Doctor Who, Bron has an extensive resume of dramatic and comedy film and TV roles dating to the early 1960s, including such classic films as Help!, Alfie, Bedazzled and Turtle Diary. In the 1970s she also participated in the "Pleasure at Her Majesty's" comedy event (alongside her City of Death co-star John Cleese) which inaugurated the Secret Policeman's Ball fund-raisers from Amnesty International.
