Judith Amanda Geeson (born September 10, 1948 in Arundel, Sussex) is an English actress.
Her first major film appearance was as wayward teenager Pamela Dare in To Sir, With Love in 1967 alongside Sidney Poitier and popular singer Lulu (who performed the theme song), but she became well-known as a result of a regular role in the BBC early-evening soap opera, The Newcomers. She also had a major role in the popular 1970s costume drama, Poldark as Caroline Penvenen. She has since appeared in many films, on television and stage.
Her other notable films include Doomwatch, Inseminoid, The Eagle Has Landed and Carry On England. In the TV series Danger UXB, she played the romantic lead, Susan Mount, opposite Anthony Andrews and had the lead role of Fulvia in Sci-Fi series Star Maidens.
In the 1970s she lived with famed set designer Sean Kenny until his death in 1973. She was then linked with actor Barry Evans who starred with her previously in Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush (1967).
In 1984, Judy left London for Los Angeles where she decided to stay. She was married to the actor Kristoffer Tabori from 1985 until 1989. Amongst other things she appeared regularly in hit US sitcom Mad About You as neighbour from Hell, Maggie Conway. Having always had an interest in antiques, Judy now runs her own antique store, Blanche and Co in Beverly Hills in addition to her acting work.
Judy's sister, Sally Geeson, is also an actress who is best known for her roles in British television situation comedies in the 1970s.
