* StageName: She was born Anna Katarina Willys. Early in her career, she was credited first as "Anneke Willys" (1954-58), then as "Annika Wills" (1960-63), before settling on "Anneke Wills" from 1964 onwards.

In 1962, Wills married to Creator/MichaelGough, who would later find fame as Alfred Pennyworth. They would divorce in 1979 after 17 years of marriage.

Anneke Wills (born 20 October 1941) is an English actress. She is best known for playing Series/DoctorWho companion Polly from 1966-67, alongside Creator/WilliamHartnell's First and Creator/PatrickTroughton's Second Doctors. She joined the show in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E10TheWarMachines The War Machines]]" and left in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E8TheFacelessOnes The Facless Ones]]". She also had a starring role as Evelyn [=McClean=] on Series/StrangeReport in 1969-70.

Wills began her acting career in 1954, aged just 13. Early appearances included Roberta in the 1957 TV adaptation of Literature/TheRailwayChildren, and two episodes of the cult classic 'The Strange World of Gurney Slade'' in 1960.

A starring role as Evelyn [=McClean=] on Series/StrangeReport, a crime drama series produced by Creator/ITCEntertainment, soon followed, but Wills opted to quit the show after one season, unwilling to relocate from London to the United States as the show had planned to do.

* ActorInspiredElement: Wills wore her own clothes on Series/DoctorWho and Series/StrangeReport.

She also had a starring role on Series/StrangeReport in 1969-70.

Wills made her debut as companion Polly in Series/DoctorWho in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E10TheWarMachines The War Machines]]", the final story of Season 3. She joined the show at the same time as Creator/MichaelCraze as fellow companion Ben Jackson. Their characters were both young Londoners from 1966, designed to capture the mood of the Swinging Sixties and appeal more to contemporary audiences than previous companions had done. Their characters sometimes clashed onscreen, but Craze and Wills would form a lifelong friendship.

Decades after leaving the role on television, she has reprised her role as Polly in audio form for Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho from 2009 onwards. She has also been called upon to provide linking narration for the audio releases of the soundtracks to many of the [[MissingEpisode/DoctorWho missing episodes]] in which she appeared. Unfortunately, her time on the show was one of the hardest hit by the BBC archive purges of the 1960s and 1970s, and today only 12 of the 36 episodes in which she appeared still exist in the archives.

She was married to Creator/MichaelGough from 1962-79.
