The Avengers Dossier, Page One

As mentioned here, 2021 is The Year of the Avengers here at Shades of Gray. This is the first in a series of posts (that will appear every other Friday) which will bring you pictures of and factoids about actresses and actors who played supporting parts on a recently reviewed episode.

JEANETTE STERKE
Jeanette Sterke played Janet Crane in "Too Many Christmas Trees". She's a psychic who may or may not be part of an effort to draw secrets from the minds of British government agents.

Sterke was born in 1933 and immigrated from Czechoslovakia to England as child, together with her parents who fled the Nazi invasion. From 1954 through her retirement from acting in 1986, she worked steadily in television. Her stint as the troupe who filled the cast on the anthology series "The BCC Sunday Night Theatre" from 1954 - 1957 and her recurring role on "The Doctors" (1970) serving as her biggest career footprint. Over the decades, Sterke also worked extensively on stage and made a few film appearances (with parts in "The Safecracker" (1957) and "The Story of David" (1976), just to name a couple).
