It has been reported that the actor Pamela Salem has died, just a few weeks after her 80th birthday.
She featured prominently in two highly regarded Doctor Who stories, as well as providing vocals for a third.
The latter was as the female voice of the crazed computer Xoanon in The Face of Evil. A week or two later we saw her as Toos in The Robots of Death.
Lis Sladen having only just left the series, Salem's agent actually publicised his client as the new Doctor Who companion, which made the tabloid press.
Salem returned to the series in 1988 to play Professor Rachel Jensen in Remembrance of the Daleks.
Beyond the series, her best known role was a regular run on EastEnders, back when it was actually quite good.
She had a brush with the world of 007, but in the non-Eon reimagining of Thunderball, Never Say Never Again. She played Miss Moneypenny opposite Sean Connery. She had previously worked with him on The First Great Train Robbery.
RIP.
