Club International magazine ran a set of nude pictures, claiming they were of her but actually featuring images from the 1978 film Sweet Virgin, and Ward successfully sued the magazine. In 1974, she acted in a film called Got It Made, directed by James Kenelm Clarke. She appeared in the films England Made Me (1973), Matushka (1973), Rosebud (1975), and Crossed Swords (or The Prince and the Pauper) (1977). Ward began her acting career in the Hammer horror film Vampire Circus (1972), and played Lottie, the teenage daughter of Louisa Trotter ( Gemma Jones) in The Duchess of Duke Street, the BBC drama series of the mid-1970s. It was a 'see if you can do it' sort of thing, because it was the thing I hated most-just like somebody who's scared of heights might go rock climbing, or, I don't know, go potholing if they're claustrophobic. After spending a few years painting, she auditioned at London drama schools "as a sort of dare" to herself: Ward studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama from 1968 to 1971. She left school at age 14 because she "loathed every single minute of it", and took her O-levels on her own. Ward's stage name, "Lalla", originates from her attempts as a toddler to pronounce her own name. She is best known for playing the role of Romana II in the BBC television series Doctor Who from 1979 to 1981. Sarah Jill "Lalla" Ward (born 28 June 1951) is an English actress, voice artist and author.
