Lehman, Val
Played Bea Smith, THE Top Dog for the first 400 episodes of Prisoner. Seen on stage in Britain in Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, and as Annie in Misery. By all accounts is a rather self-important lady, refusing to credit Prisoner for her career, but still riding on its success 15 years after she left the series - look at the number of sightings below that are celebrity appearances or guest roles. Not liked by all of the cast members.
