Biography

Eleanor Margaret Jane Sherwin (née Parsons; 3 November 1934 – 16 December 2022) was a British actress, known for her appearances in science fiction television, with roles in the Doctor Who serial The War Games and Blake's 7.

From SVG, she trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, graduating in 1954. She started her career using her maiden name, appearing on television and in Provincial Repertory but took a break for a while to look after her three children. Returning to acting in the late 1960s, Jane adopted her marriage name (after her marriage to actor/producer Derrick Sherwin) and resumed her TV career.
