Ros Drinkwater

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ros Drinkwater (born February 14, 1944 in Glasgow , Scotland ) is a British actress , dancer and photojournalist .

Life

Born in Glasgow, Ros Drinkwater comes from an Anglo-Irish family. Her grandfather served in the British-Indian Army . Before she turned to acting, she worked as a dancer in Las Vegas for a while. Since the mid-1960s she appeared in several episodes of well-known British television series, including 1968 in an episode of the series Simon Templar , which was also very successful in Germany , in which Roger Moore played the title role.

She had her best-known role in the television series Paul Temple (1969-1971), which was based on a model by Francis Durbridge . Here she embodied Steve, the wife of the title hero , played by Francis Matthews . According to the script, her maiden name should have been Louise Harvey, but this does not correspond to the early radio play series (running between 1938 and 1968). There she was called Steve Trent before she was married and was a Fleet Street journalist . The series was produced by the BBC together with ZDF ( Taurus-Film ) in the first international joint production in television history. According to Francis Matthews, Drinkwater chose her very expensive designer clothes herself. About the character of Steve (mostly spoken by Marjorie Westbury in the radio play series ) and the casting of Ros Drinkwater in this role, there should have been disagreements between the two partners. The BBC would have liked to have dropped the actress, but ZDF and Taurus-Film successfully campaigned for Drinkwater. In the German dubbed version, Margot Leonard played the role of Steve, as in the radio play multi-part Paul Temple and the Alex case .

After her television career, she went to Ireland and became a photojournalist there. She lives there on her own small farm in County Monaghan .

Ros Drinkwater is sometimes considered to be the older sister of actress Carol Drinkwater , but the two women are not closely related.
