English actress Jill Curzon, best known for her role in the Doctor Who spin-off film Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 AD, has died at the age of 87. She passed away peacefully last month at her home in Spain, her close friend Pete Sims confirmed.
Curzon’s career spanned the 1960s, with appearances alongside Cliff Robertson in The Sunshine Patriot, Robert Wagner in It Takes A Thief, and roles in Dr Syn, Alias The Scarecrow and the Morecambe and Wise film The Intelligence Men. Her television credits include The Saint, The Champions, Adam Adamant Lives!, Hugh And I, Not Only But Also and The Dick Emery Show.
Sims, who helped Curzon write her memoir Jill Curzon 2023 AD – My Eventful Life, described her as a kind, generous person with a zest for life. He said she loved recounting stories from the 1960s and 1970s and the stars she mixed with, including Robert Wagner.
Curzon is survived by her daughter Michelle King and grandson Taj.
