Gabriella Licudi

Initially planning to teach elocution, she studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama, where she was spotted by an agent while performing in a class production in 1961.

Other roles included the part of a widowed expatriate opposite Patrick McGoohan in the 1965 episode of Danger Man titled "English Lady Takes Lodgers".

Licudi also appeared in the James Bond spoof Casino Royale (1967) opposite Deborah Kerr, the Henry Hathaway film The Last Safari (1967), and a lead role in Don Levy's experimental feature Herostratus (1967).

She also starred in the 1968 BBC production of the Conan-Doyle classic 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' alongside Peter Cushing as Holmes and Nigel Stock as Watson.

She and her South African husband ran a safari lodge for several years before she eventually returned to London to run her own production company.
