Fenella Fielding (born 17 November 1930) is an English actress.
She was thought to be the sister of Marty Feldman, but it was actually declared not to be the case. She was originally called "Fenella Feldman", hence spreading the rumours.
Born in London in 1930, she began her acting career in 1954, concentrating on stage theatrical productions.
She has also appeared in the following films: Drop Dead, Darling; Lock Up Your Daughters; Carry On Screaming; Carry On Regardless; Doctor in Clover; Doctor in Distress; Doctor in Trouble; No Love for Johnnie; Robin Hood; Guest House Paradiso and in many stage productions alongside occasional guest appearances in television programmes such as The Avengers and Danger Man. She also provided the voice of the Village announcements in The Prisoner.
In the film Dougal and the Blue Cat, based on The Magic Roundabout, she voiced the character of the Blue Voice - referred to as "Madam" by Buxton (the blue cat of the title) and Dougal at various stages throughout the film. It is rumored that the character was based on Margaret Thatcher, and that the character is a political comment about the beginnings of Thatcherism - the colour blue being the colour of the Conservative Party.
