Biography

Willowy blonde British actress Suzy Kendall studied for a career in clothing design at Derby College. After briefly laboring in the English fashion industry as both designer and model, she was cast in the 1966 spy thriller The Liquidator. The next year, she gained international renown for her role in To Sir With Love (1967) and the semi-willing victim of a gang of S&M freaks in The Penthouse (1967). Kendall then settled into roles in a series of indifferent English and European productions, remaining in this artistic rut into the late 1980s. Suzy Kendall was one of several high-profile wives of comic actor Dudley Moore. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

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.

Personal life

Born in Belper, Derbyshire, England, Kendall attended 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, divorced him amicably in 1972, and remarried shortly afterwards. In 2002 she hosted a memorial service for Moore 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, a book on beauty tips (ISBN 978-0460045254 published 1980).

Kendall now lives in London with her second husband Sandy Harper. Their daughter Elodie Harper is a Channel Four News journalist.
