Surprise, an unplanned entrance. Although I already working on Steedumbrella, right now suddenly I came across important news about actress Elizabeth Sellars (while I was in searching the material for VK Avengers group).

Elizabeth Sellars

Actress, played Laura in Avengers episode Take-Over (1969).

This is indicated in almost all respect sources that Elizabeth was born May 6, 1923 in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. Sometimes you can find information for 1925. I always considered this known version (born in 1923) quite convincing, due there was a topic on the Britmovie forum about the actress.

So what motivated me to research that maybe I would never have done if not an accident?
In one newspaper I found mention of that 39-year old actress Elizabeth Sellars married Francis Henley in 1960.

Stop! 39 year old? Shocked

That is, according to the newspaper, she was to be born in 1921 or 1920. Shocked

Very curious.

I started research and... here is how, actually, I could not find confirmation that our Elizabeth M Sellars was born in 1923. There were possible options for 1921. Shocked

In the end, I came to the answer and even found a website that confirmed my results.

Thuth is here:

https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Sellars,_Elizabeth

Full name: Elizabeth McDonald Sellars

Born: May 6, 1921 in Glasgow, Scotland, UK.

If Elizabeth is still alive in this case she is the oldest living actress who participated in The Avengers (according to my studies).

Information will soon posted on IMDb:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0783288

P.S./ If you are wondering who is the oldest confirmed live actor who participated in The Avengers, person named Geoffrey Chater. Born: March 23, 1921 in Chipping Barnet, Hertfordshire, England, UK

IMDb still did not have any biographical data for...:

Christopher Driscoll

...until today.

Actor, who played Martin in TNA episode "Angels of Death" (1977).

Fandom of TV series Doctor Who indicated that the actor died in 2015, but in different sources mentioned different years of his birth, 1941 or 1946. I decided to conduct my own investigation and found certain confirmation. As a result:

Full name: Christopher Denis Driscoll

Born: December, 1945 in Essex, England, UK

Married: Helen Pettitt (1992 - 27 May 2015) (his death)

Died: May 27, 2015, in Emsworth, Hampshire, England
