TODAY IT'S A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to actress JENNIE LINDEN who fought the good fight against the Daleks with
Peter Cushing as Dr Who in 'Dr Who and the Daleks' in 1965.. Jennie had a VERY full and quite accomplished carear where she appeared in several notable feature films and television series. One feature 'Women In Love' directed by Ken Russell in 1969 with its infamous fireplace scene of two men wrestling naked, was in
its day one of the most controversial films ever made in Britain! Audiences flocked to cinemas to be shocked and scandalised.
BUT BEFORE ALL THIS DRAMA and promise of super-stardom, back
in 1965 Jennie played Barbara, niece to Peter Cushing's Dr Who in the
first of AARU's big screen adaptions of the BBC television series Dr
Who. The programme and it's most popular aliens. THE DALEKS were taking
the country by storm, and DALEKMANIA had started. Sadly, when the
producers decided to make another Dr Who Dalek film, Jenny's role was
taken by another actress, Jill Curzon . . . Jennie also
appeared opposite Lee Remick and Ian Holm in the film version of Iris
Murdoch's novel 'A Severed Head' (1970). Her later film appearances included 'Vampira' (1974), 'Hedda' (1975), 'Valentino' (1977), and 'Charlie Muffin' (1979). Happy Birthday Jennie!
