Dr. Ava.

Does she look 40 ish in those?

My Mayfair issue says she was in The Two Ronnies and steptoe and son.
It also says she was in 2001 a Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. I have looked at the cast list and the film. Either she was in a deleted scene or a dressed up monkey or she wasn't in it.
If she was in 2001 she must have been very young, (a deleted scene has Kubricks daughter painting in a scene with other unknown girls). The mayfair mag says she was 23 (the mag looks late 70's) so Ava was 15?

Penelope Wade on my site looks amazingly like a girl in mayfair mag called Mandy Kuypers, the mag offers 8mm super 8 films for her (must be before popular video -early 80's)

She may well have been in the Two Ronnies and Steptoe - he was certainly in one or two films of the Adventures/Ups and Downs of a Window Cleaner/
Taxi Driver/Handyman sort. In one I remember her dressed as a schoolgirl having her bare backside spanked by, of all people, Bob Todd, playing as a policeman.

I assume we all know about the h/c shorts she did with John Lindsay? ("Jolly Hockeysticks" etc)

Yes posted caps to aftvx the other day. Born 1956, Budapest.

She wasn't always credited. Sheridan says she was in Ups and Downs of a Handyman as a schoolgirl, but she doesn't appear in the end credits. This was on Channel 5 last Friday, but I missed the first half.

I've seen the caps Alec, I can't see which girl she is. Is she kissed by the woman teacher jhs_03.jpg? just seen the unknown pics of Ava. The top pic (with necklace, against red flower design material) looks less like her. She has a very square jaw(maybe it got squarer). Have you a better pic with her eyes open?

All the pics are either in the unknowns or in the sets of caps. If Sheridan is correct and she is in this loop then the brunette schoolgirl with the woman teacher is the only candidate. The pics in the unknowns are just a slightly different selection from the same capping session of the same loop. The other two girls are blonde and the taller one of them has been identified as Lisa Lamb-Shine.
