Nikki Berwick was born on 24 December 1978 in Rochford, Essex, England, UK. She is an actress, known for Die Another Day (2002), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) and Skyfall (2012).- Katya Wyeth was the daughter of an English solicitor, Rex Wyeth and German mother who was a ballerina. As a child, she was educated in Essex, England and Hamburg, West Germany. Influenced by her mother, Katya originally trained as a ballet dancer at the Theatre Royal, Windsor. But when her height of 5'9" became detrimental to that career, she turned to modeling and acting.
She spent several years in repertory theatre, playing with the National Youth Theatre, and was featured in productions in the late 1960s, including Dear Charles and Rebelais at London's Round House in 1971. She also worked for a time as an assistant stage manager and understudy and acted in a German film and on German television.
Although she had been briefly seen on BBC Television in 1964 in a play televised from the Ashcroft Theatre, Julius Caesar (1964), Katya's British screen career truly commenced in the late 1960s. Before then, she was working as Katherina Wyeth then settled on Katya Wyeth in 1969 and employed this stage name for the rest of her acting career. She acted on television series such as Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969), The Avengers (1961), The Goodies (1970), The Sweeney (1975) and Space: 1999 (1975). She was also hostess of the game show The Sky's the Limit (1971), which was presented by Hughie Green.
Katya's feature film contributions include the horror films Hands of the Ripper (1971), Twins of Evil (1971) featuring Peter Cushing, and Burke & Hare (1972). Her role in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971) witnessed her with Malcolm McDowell in the 'Ascot fantasy' sequence that closes the film.
As the 1970s progressed and the British Film Industry fell into a decline, many projects available to British-based actors were low-brow exploitation films, and Katya was featured in two of them; Confessions of a Window Cleaner (1974) and I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight (1976). Her last screen credit was in the film No. 1 of the Secret Service (1977), a James Bond spoof directed by Lindsay Shonteff which inexplicably led to two sequel films.
In her personal life, Katya was married to actor Michael Bangerter from 1971 until his death in 2016. They had two children; a son and daughter. - Wilfred Downing was born in 1937 in Rochford, Essex, England, UK.
