Zena Moyra Marshall (b. January 1, 1925 in Nairobi, Kenya) is a British actress known in British film and television.
Marshall's film career dates from 1945, with a small role in Caesar and Cleopatra, with Claude Rains and Vivien Leigh. Her exotic looks resulted in being cast in 'ethnic' roles, such as Italians and Asian women. Arguably, it is as the Chinese Miss Taro, in the first James Bond film, Dr. No (1962), for which she is best known (despite being five years older than leading man Sean Connery ).
Another major film in her c.v. is 1965's Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines; Marshall appeared in television series in the 1950s and the 1960s, including three appearances (as different characters) on Danger Man.
Marshall's most recent film credit is a 1971 made-for-TV production, Act of Betrayal.
