Katy Manning Movies

Very well-known for her performance as Jo Grant during Jon Pertwee's run on Doctor Who, Katy Manning later caused a sensation when posing nude with a Dalek from that series, for a series of photographs that have since been widely bootlegged. Manning appeared in several movies, though she tends to stick more to stage and television work. She lived for a time in Australia, but eventually moved to the United States. She has very much been in demand for science fiction convention appearances. ~ Steven E. McDonald, All Movie Guide
