Lindsay Duncan

Lindsay Duncan CBE (born 7 November 1950REF: Who-ology: The Official Miscellany) played Adelaide Brooke in the Doctor Who story The Waters of Mars.
She also contributed to the charity reference book Behind the Sofa: Celebrity Memories of Doctor Who.
At the time of filming The Waters of Mars, Duncan was fifty-eight years old. As her character was identified by the BBC as the Doctor's companion, this made her the oldest actor to play a companion in the franchise's history. This distinction lasted a little over a month until her record was well surpassed by eighty-year-old Bernard Cribbins in The End of Time.
== Career ==
She is best known for her portrayal of Katherine in the film Under The Tuscan Sun. Weeks after her appearance in Doctor Who, she played Alice's mother in the billion-dollar-grossing Alice in Wonderland. In 2014, she portrayed Lady Smallwood in the Sherlock episode , written by Steven Moffat, directed by Nick Hurran, produced by Sue Vertue and executive produced by Moffat, Mark Gatiss and Beryl Vertue.
