Suzy Kendall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suzy Kendall (born Frieda Harrison, 1 January 1944), is a British actress best known for her film roles in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Her blonde, attractive looks got her leading roles in some fairly prestigious productions. She later appeared in increasingly minor films, including several giallo thrillers made in Italy, and several TV series in the 1970s before retiring to spend more time with her family.

Born in Belper, Derbyshire, England, Kendall attended Belper Convent School, and then Derby & District College of Art where she studied painting and design. She was a fabric designer at British Celanese and then became a photographic model before becoming an actress.
Kendall married the pianist, comedian and actor Dudley Moore in 1968. She divorced Moore amicably in 1972 and remarried shortly afterwards. In 2002 she hosted a memorial service for Moore which was attended by her second husband and daughter.
Kendall and her friend Pat Wellington wrote Natural Appeal: Fragrant Natural Preparations for the Care of Skin, Hair and Body (ISBN 978-0460045254), a book on beauty tips (published 1980).
