Early life

Judy Geeson was born in Arundel, Sussex. Her father was an editor for the National Coal Board magazine.[2] Her sister Sally Geeson, also an actress, is known for her roles in British television sitcoms of the 1970s.[3] Geeson attended Corona Stage Academy and made her stage debut in 1957.[2][4]

Career

Geeson's professional acting career started in July 1962, with an appearance in an episode of the television series The Probation Officer.[5] Her first major film appearances came in 1967, with roles in To Sir, with Love[6] and Berserk!.[7] She followed these films with the comedy Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush (1968). Geeson became well known as a result of a regular role in the BBC early-evening soap opera The Newcomers. She also had a major role in the mid-1970s costume drama Poldark as Caroline Penvenen (later Caroline Enys).

Geeson's other films include Prudence and the Pill (1968), Three into Two Won't Go (1969), 10 Rillington Place (1970), Doomwatch (1972), Brannigan (1975), starring John Wayne, and The Eagle Has Landed (1976). In the TV series Danger UXB (1979) she played the female lead, Susan Mount, opposite Anthony Andrews. She also had the lead role of Fulvia in the science fiction series Star Maidens (1976).

In addition to her film and television work during this time, Geeson also performed in theatrical productions for the Royal Shakespeare Company as Lavinia in Titus Andronicus and as Viven 532 in Section Nine (both 1973). She also had roles in stage productions of Next Time I'll Sing to You (1980) and The Real Thing (1985), both in London, before making her Off-Broadway debut in The Common Pursuit in 1987.

Geeson relocated from London to Los Angeles in 1984; there she began appearing in American television, including a role as a series regular in the sitcom Mad About You, playing the hostile neighbour, Maggie Conway, from 1992 to 1999. She also played the role of Sandrine in the Star Trek: Voyager episodes "The Cloud" and "Twisted".[8]

Having appeared in a number of horror films during the 1970s and 1980s, including Fear in the Night (1972),[9] A Candle for the Devil (1973),[9] Dominique (1978) and Inseminoid (1981),[9] Geeson returned to the horror genre in The Lords of Salem (2012), directed by Rob Zombie.[10] The film marked her return to acting following a nine-year absence. She portrayed Sister Dragon in Rob Zombie's slasher film 31 which was released in 2015.[11]

Personal life

In the 1970s, Geeson lived with set designer Sean Kenny until his death in 1973.[12] She was married to actor Kristoffer Tabori from 1985 until their divorce in 1989.[3] In a 2015 interview, Geeson stated that she had resided in Los Angeles, California, for the past 30 years.[7]
