Maureen O'Brien
Maureen O'Brien (born 29 June 1943) is an English actress and author best known for playing the role of Vicki in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who, although she has appeared in many other television programmes as well.
She played the part of Vicki in 38 episodes of Doctor Who from 2 January to 6 November 1965, starring alongside the original Doctor, William Hartnell. Over 40 years later, she reprised the role in several Big Finish Productions Doctor Who audio plays.
After leaving Doctor Who, O'Brien found it difficult to find acting work on television, and worked as a supply teacher. Her next role was in the theatre, where she appeared in an Oxford Playhouse production of Volpone with Leo McKern and Leonard Rossiter.
She had a recurring role as Morgan in The Legend of King Arthur (1979) and unit general manager Elizabeth Straker in the second season of Casualty (1987). She made numerous guest appearances in The Duchess of Duke Street ("Trouble and Strife"), Taggart ("Forbidden Fruit"), Cracker ("The Big Crunch"), A Touch of Frost ("Private Lives") and Heartbeat. She appeared also in an early episode of Jonathan Creek, playing Kirsten Holiday in the episode 'Jack in the Box'.
