Zena Moyra Marshall (1 January 1926 – 10 July 2009) was a British actress of film and television, who was born in Kenya.

Early years

Although she was born in Nairobi, Marshall grew up in Leicestershire following her father's death and her mother's remarriage. Her mother was of French descent.[1]

Career

Marshall attended St Mary's, Ascot and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). She worked with Ensa (the Entertainments National Service Association) during the Second World War.[1]

Marshall first acted on stage.[1] Her film career began with a small role in Caesar and Cleopatra (1945), with Claude Rains and Vivien Leigh. Her exotic looks resulted in her being cast in "ethnic" roles, such as Asian women, including her role as the Chinese character Miss Taro, in the first James Bond film, Dr. No (1962). She also appeared in Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965) as the Countess Ponticelli, and made numerous television appearances. Her last film performance was in The Terrornauts in 1967.

Personal life

Marshall married bandleader Paul Adam in 1947[1] and later wed Alexander Ward,[2] before her final marriage, to film producer Ivan Foxwell (died 2002); they had no children. She died after a short illness in 2009, aged 83.[1] (Her obituary in The Herald says that she "died of cancer".)[3]
