She is also known for starring in the 1970s TV comedy series The Cuckoo Waltz and Rings on Their Fingers, and for her many appearances in Nescafé coffee advertisements from 1980 to 1989.[1]

Personal life

Born in London,[2] Keen grew up in East Africa, principally Tanganyika and later Kenya, where her father was a civil engineer.[3] She attended boarding school and returned to Britain at the age of 19,[3] where she became a secretary for the Ivy League fan club; this led to her releasing a 45rpm single of "Sally Go 'Round the Roses" (credited as Dee King) on the Piccadilly label in 1966.[4] She has one daughter, Melissa, by her marriage to Paul Greenwood, which ended in divorce in 1979. Her granddaughter, Siena Pugsley, played the role of her on-screen granddaughter in Doctors.[5] She was also of the belief that she was the reincarnation of a 3000 year old Egyptian Queen. This was seen in an 1970s Advert for the News of the World

Career

Keen was a regular on television during the 1970s and early 1980s, starring in long-running sitcoms such as The Cuckoo Waltz, Rings on Their Fingers, Shillingbury Tales and You Must Be the Husband, and in two runs of the Thames Television children's historical costume drama The Feathered Serpent. She also guest-starred in many shows, including The Morecambe and Wise Show, and featured as Laura Dickens in the critically acclaimed spy drama The Sandbaggers.

She had a part in the 1967 film Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush as Claire, Judy Geeson's university student friend, and appeared in the 1977 spin-off film of 1970s TV detective series The Sweeney. Keen starred as Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary ("Sissi") in episode one of the 13-part series Fall of Eagles (1974), and played Hilda in The Professionals series 1 episode Killer With a Long Arm in 1978. In 1980, she appeared as widowed restaurant owner Christina in Series 1 episode The Dessert Song of Minder. She went on to star with David Jason in A Touch of Frost.[6]

Keen starred for ten years in a series of advertisements for Nescafé coffee[1] and made an appearance in an episode of Taggart.[7] In the next decade she became a regular in the Inspector Wexford series, playing the wife of Wexford's D.I.[8] Roles in Brookside and several other TV shows followed, including New Tricks.[9]

Keen has appeared onstage, including in the Alan Ayckbourn play Absent Friends at the Bristol Old Vic, and in two acclaimed tours of Same Time, Next Year.[10] In 2013, she co-starred in a British tour of The Vagina Monologues.[11]

British soaps

She had a major soap role in BBC Birmingham's daytime soap opera Doctors, playing Mill Health Centre practice manager Julia Parsons from 2003 to 2012.[3] She also played waitress Sandra Gould in Crossroads during 1968 -71, and the receptionist at the Feathers Hotel, Connelton in Emmerdale Farm in 1972.
