Born in Bulawayo, Rhodesia, she arrived in England in 1956 and began her 12-year acting career there, appearing in television series such as The Avengers, and made her first notable film appearance as Cliff Richard’s girlfriend, Toni, in The Young Ones (1961).
Thereafter, she appeared mainly in horror films, such as Curse of the Fly, Devils of Darkness, and Island of Terror, and was given the nickname the "Scream Queen".[2] In 1968, she returned to Africa where she appeared on stage in plays such as Harvey, in 1968, Fiddler on the Roof, in 1969, and Taubie Kushlick’s production of No, No, Nanette at the Alexander Theatre, Johannesburg, in 1972.
