British film and television is
mourning the death of Sue
Lloyd
29 Oct
2011
Sue Lloyd who played the role
of Jean Courtney in both The
Ipcress File and in a small cameo in
Bullet to Beijing passed away on
20 October 2011, aged 72. Lloyd made
an initial splash in the 1960s as
Michael Caine's glamorous foil in 'The
Ipcress File' as well as
appearing alongside Peter Cushing in
the horror film 'Corruption' in
1968. At the height of her 60s fame
she sold stories
about affairs with the
likes of Sean
Connery and Peter Sellers, the
subsequent money
enabling her to buy a London flat.
However, she is remembered far more
fondly for her role as Barbara Hunter
in the long running soap 'Crossroads,'
a character who
appeared in 714 episodes before
leaving with on-screen and future
real-life husband Ronald
Allen in 1985. Sue wrote her own
biography "It Seemed Like a Good Idea
at the Time" in 1998.

In
1965 The Ipcress
File was such a hit, that MB Games decided to
put a game on the market.
This kind of merchandise was very successful
with the James Bond
movies, so MB developed a special game for the
first Harry Palmer
movie. The object was to find the double agent.
