Barbara Shelley's list of genre credentials is absolutely insane.

Her only role in the Whoniverse was as Sorasta in the 1984 Fifth Doctor serial Planet Of Fire, but that aside, she's appeared in Blake's 7, The Avengers (that's the 1960s TV series kids, not the blockbuster movie franchise), and The Man From UNCLE.

She also starred in various Hammer horror films throughout the 1960s, such as Dracula: Prince Of Darkness (opposite Christopher Lee as the title character), Rasputin The Mad Monk, and Quatermass And The Pit.

She passed away on 4 January, at 88 years of age.
