Doctor Who star Jill Curzon dies aged 87
----------------------------------------
English actress and Doctor Who star Jill Curzon has died at the
age of 87.

Best known for her role as Louise in the Doctor Who spin-off
film Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 AD opposite Peter Cushing, the
actress starred in a number of films and TV shows during the
1960s.

Her extensive career also saw her star alongside Cliff Robertson
in The Sunshine Patriot and Robert Wagner in It Takes A Thief,
as well as roles in Dr Syn, Alias The Scarecrow and the Morecambe
and Wise film The Intelligence Men.

Curzon's close friend Pete Sims revealed how she died peacefully
last month at her home in Spain.

Sims, who helped Curzon write her memoir Jill Curzon 2023 AD - My
Eventful Life, said: 'She was a kind, generous person who loved
life, she had a zest for life.

'She was just a joy to be around and she loved recounting old
stories about what happened in the 60s and 70s and the people she
used to mix with, people like Robert Wagner and all these big stars
when she lived in America.

'It was great just to hear her stories. That's why the book that
she wrote was a labour of love.

'I think it took her about 12 years to write that book, because she
wanted to make sure it was spot on and it was right.'

He added: 'She had a long, varied career and enjoyed every minute.

'The one thing I will always remember about Jill was she had a real
zest for life, and she just embraced everything that came her way.'

Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 AD was Curzon's only outing in the
Doctor Who universe.

It was also the second of only three films about the famous Time
Lord to ever be released.

Despite at first receiving negative critical reaction, the film has
gone on to become a cult favourite.

Curzon's other TV appearances included The Saint, The Champions,
Adam Adamant Lives!, Hugh And I, Not Only But Also and The Dick
Emery Show.

She is survived by her daughter Michelle King and grandson Taj.

Spinoff? It was a remake of the serial "The Dalek Invasion of Earth".

Also, the actress who played Barbara in the first film/remake wasn't
available. The character was renamed Louise.
