She played the part of Vicki in 38 episodes of Doctor Who from 2 January to 6 November 1965, starring alongside the original Doctor, William Hartnell. Over 40 years later, she reprised the role in several Big Finish Productions Doctor Who audio plays.

Her next role was in the theatre, where she appeared in an Oxford Playhouse production of Volpone with Leo McKern and Leonard Rossiter.[2] She had a recurring role as Morgan in The Legend of King Arthur (1979) and as unit general manager Elizabeth Straker in the second season of Casualty (1987).

In 1997 she appeared as Kirsten Holiday in "Jack in the Box", episode two of Jonathan Creek. O'Brien was a member of the Everyman Theatre company.[3] In the 1970s she directed a production of Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle at the University of Ottawa in Canada. The 1980s saw her teaching acting workshops in the USA. She also made a rare film appearance in the comedy She'll Be Wearing Pink Pyjamas in 1985 opposite Julie Walters. She received the Time Out Critic's Choice award for her production of Mike English's Getting In in 1986.[4] O'Brien has also written seven detective novels: Close-Up on Death (1989), Deadly Reflection (1993), Mask of Betrayal (1998), Dead Innocent (1999), Revenge (2001), Unauthorised Departure (2003) and Every Step You Take (2004); all feature the character of Detective Inspector John Bright.[5] Early lifeO'Brien was born in Liverpool and attended Notre Dame School in that city, as well as the Central School of Speech and Drama in London.[6] References1. ^{{cite web | title =Maureen O'Brien Biography (1943-) | work =Film Reference | publisher =Advameg | url =http://www.filmreference.com/film/90/Maureen-O-Brien.html | accessdate =12 December 2011 }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://drwhointerviews.wordpress.com/category/maureen-obrien/ |title=Maureen O'Brien |publisher=Doctor Who Interview Archive |accessdate=8 May 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web | last =Hickling | first =Alfred | title =Macbeth - review (footnote to the article from 13 May 2011) | work =The Guardian - Theatre | publisher =Guardian News and Media | date =25 May 2011 | url =https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2011/may/13/macbeth-everyman-liverpool-review | accessdate =12 December 2011 }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.maureenobrien.co.uk/ |title=Maureen O'Brien – Author and Actor |publisher=Maureenobrien.co.uk |date=18 August 2008 |accessdate=8 May 2016}} 5. ^http://www.maureenobrien.co.uk/books.php#Books 6. ^{{cite web | title =Actress in her own write | work =Free Library - Liverpool Echo | publisher =MGN and Gale, Cengage Learning | date =18 January 2003 | url =http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Actress+in+her+own+write.-a097547824 | accessdate =12 December 2011 }} External links
