She was in From Russia with Love, and some Danger Man episodes.

By the way, Denis, fair enough about "participated in", she probably attended rehearsals and was replaced later on.
Mrs Peel, you're needed!

A notable actress of the time, she appeared in both Bond films mentioned by you, Nick. I think we shouldn't write her off the Avengers screen account, she could well have appeared in another episode of the first Avengers series, replacing the actress who participated in rehearsals (there are a lot of performers from the first series that we still don't know if they played a role in the video recording).

Yes, you are right, Piers, it would be better if I indicate that Nadja took part in the rehearsals - this will make it clearer.

Oh, of course she was Bonita in the Goldfinger intro. She has a longer outing in From Russia with Love.

Alas, in recent days I have been sick with the flu, so the work on the update is temporarily suspended.

Thanks for the healing words, Nick. I already feel better, although not enough to continue. :)

This section is still on hold - I hope I will be willing or able to continue soon (depending on developments).
Yes, the recent events are such that there is not much my enthusiasm for the activity in this thread.
