in Surrey, England. She began her training in dance and music at
the age of three, studying classical ballet, then jazz and tap
dance, the piano, flute and guitar, and finally acting at the
Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art. Here, apart from developing
her acting skills, she continued her hobbies of golf and music. It
was also during her time at drama school, that Nicola married the
Broadway singer, Scott Kennedy, although they later separated. Her
final production at Webber Douglas was "No, No, Nanette", in which
she played the lead. She was spotted by an agent, Terry Carney
(William Hartnell's Grand-daughter's husband), and asked to
audition for the part of Peri in "Doctor Who", which she got. On
leaving "Doctor Who", Nicola appeared in "Blackadder's Christmas
Carol" (My, what a jolly young girl !! Yeah, pity she nicked all
the presents!, "Dimensions in Time" - A Dr Who Special and the
highly successful three "Stranger" videos and The Airzone Solution"
with Colin Baker. In 1992, she went to Los Angeles for several
months before returning to the UK. In 1995, she appeared as Martine
in "The Biz", a children's series, which has run for three series
so far. She also has sung with Colin Baker, Anthony Ainley,
Nicholas Courtney and a number of British pop stars on the "Doctor
In Distress" record. Nicola lives in Notting Hill, where her
understanding neighbours allow her to write music at all hours of
the day and night.
