The above picture shows No.6 with Nadia-No.8, played by actress Nadia Gray, cosying up to each other outside '6 Private,' No.6's cottage as Nadia is about to explain to No.6 the location of the village.
The next picture shows No.6 getting close to Nadia, after she has given him the location of the village, supposedly in Lithuania, 30 miles form the Polish border.
The thing is, that the woman you see from only the back view, as in the above picture, her face never once seen by the camera......is not Nadia Gray, but some other woman! It's not Joan Drummond, McGoohan's wife. But certainly it's someone close to McGoohan, as just before this picture was taken, he actually had his arm round Nadia-No.8, and McGoohan never did that with any actress! So who this woman was, standing in for Nadia Gray when McGoohan had his arm round Nadia-No.8, remains a mystery to this very day.

Dear Karen,
ReplyDeleteNo it isn’t. I can categorically state that Catherine McGoohan did not appear in that scene during ‘The Chimes of Big Ben.’ That from the lady herself.

Be seeing you
