Remember, acting doesn't end with TV and film.

That's the thing I hate about IMDb--there's absolutely no listings for stage productions. You end up with all these holes in people's careers, especially British actors, who spend more time on stage on average than Americans.

I wonder if there's a search page, something like IMDB, that would cater to and list say, stage productions, etc...

You'd think someone would have put one together, wouldn't you? Some theatres list all their stage productions and information on their sites, but you sort of need to know what to look for first, which makes finding new stuff difficult.

Yes, it seems like a theatre search would be a viable feature of a larger site, such as IMDB. Perhaps the film industry feels threatened?

I did find that she was in a movie entitled "School for Scoundrels," which sounds like a good Avengers episode title.
Here's a magazine appearance that was on ebay recently (albeit, here she is a brunette).
The description said that this publication is from October 1960:

I have School For Scoundrels on DVD - a double bill with the very wonderful The Green Man - it does sound like the Avengers episode School For Traitors, you're right.

..and radio! Many actors spend 90% of their broadcasting career in British radio plays and series. And it has spawned/nurtured some big productions and bigger writers... anyone heard of a chap called Douglas Adams?

Not only have I heard of him...I buy his books...love the guy.

This link may help- http://www.theatredb.com/ and there's also http://www.ibdb.com/index.php. The latter is a Broadway data base.

I read all his books too! Consider anything, but don't panic!

There's also this:

(Avengers stalwart Christopher Benjamin, proving how, uh, sparse the database actually is).

I'm sure there used to be another one that had amazing data - it's where I found the only decent photo of Emma Thompson's father I've ever seen.
