Description
Wendy Padbury is a British actress from Warwickshire, England. She is most famous for her involvement in various Doctor Who stories from the Patrick Troughton era.
Before becoming an actress Padbury took ballet classes but these came to an end due to her flat feet. They were replaced by Saturday morning drama classes with a strong emphasis on elocution.
Padbury came to prominence in 1966 when she joined the cast of the long-running ATV soap opera Crossroads after she came second in the television talent contest "Search For A Star". She played the role of Stephanie "Stevie" Harris, foster daughter to the show's main character, Meg Mortimer.
She was cast as the Second Doctor's new companion, Zoe Heriot, in Doctor Who in 1968. She became very close to her co-stars Frazer Hines and Patrick Troughton, the latter playing the Doctor. Padbury tells many fond stories about the practical jokes they would play on each other during rehearsals.
Her connection with Doctor Who after she left the programme was not quite over.
