Early life and education

Gray appeared in numerous television shows of the 1960s, including The Man from U.N.C.L.E. as the femme fatale Angelique. As a teenager, she appeared in the German television programme The Vikings. She also appeared in episodes of Danger Man, The Saint, The Avengers, The Rat Patrol, Get Smart, Bewitched (as Abigail Beecham, Samantha's father's glamorous private secretary), Twelve O'Clock High, The Loner, The Wild Wild West, and Hogan's Heroes. She was one of the presenters on Six-Five Special and on Double Your Money.

Personal life
