Fernanda Marlowe (born 7 September 1942) is a British actress, best known for her role as Corporal Bell in the Doctor Who stories The Mind of Evil and The Claws of Axos (both 1971).
Early life
[edit]Born into an acting family[1] of Spanish descent (her grandfather being Fernando Perredita), her parents were the actors Anthony Marlowe (real name Thomas Fernando Perredita) and (Pamela) Merelina Watts.[2]
Marlowe's other acting credits include episodes of Ghost Squad (in which her father played a regular character), Drama 61-67 and Dixon of Dock Green.[3]
Lloyds Names Scandal
[edit]After marrying an accountant,[4] Marlowe gave up acting to bring up her children. She became a victim of the Lloyds Names Scandal by backing policies underwritten by the Gooda Walker agencies,[5] owing up to £750,000 in debt[6] and as a result, went on to support others affected by this ordeal.[7] During this time, she became secretary of the Gooda Walker Direct Names Association[8][9] to represent other heavy losers, turned her home into a bed and breakfast establishment to reclaim costs[10] and tried to return to acting, playing a victim in a reconstruction on Crimewatch.[11]
Art
[edit]After bringing up her children, Marlowe retrained as a painter at Heatherley School of Art. Her working style consists mainly in oil and of landscapes, urban and still life artwork,[12] exhibiting the pieces in London and Aldeburgh.[13] From 1990 to 2013, she was Founder Member and Vice Chairman of Young Art and helped to organise the first YA exhibition.[14]
