Her call to fame was the 1966 classic, One Million Years B.C. She only had three lines of dialogue in the film, but her appearance was enough to make her an international celebrity. Since she acted in a 2017 movie titled Date My Dad, she hasn’t made any on-screen appearances.

She went on to appear in other series, such as “Grumpy Old Women” in 2005 and the wildlife show “Countryfile” in 2000. For her work on television, St Clement was honored with the British Soap Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012. She is an animal lover and a patron of Veteran Horse Welfare.
