Could there ever have been a more sexy young actress on UK TV in the early to mid-eighties than Glynis Barber? Shooting to fame as the sassy gun-slinger Soolin in BBC sci-fi hit BLAKE'S 7, she than made an impact and was a feast for the eyes as the TV translation of the scantily clad war-time comic strip heroine JANE, before becoming the class to Michael Brandon's American attitude cop in the hit LWT series DEMPSEY AND MAKEPEACE. That show, Britain's answer to popular formulaic US TV, was to be lucky for the actress is more ways than one: with an on-screen relationship with co-star Michael Brandon that soon blossomed into real-life love and marriage.
And lucky Michael, too!
