Stephanie Turner (born 25 May 1944 in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England) is an actress.
She is best known for the lead role of Inspector Jean Darblay in the first three series of the 1980s television BBC police drama Juliet Bravo (1980-82). Prior to this, she had played Dennis Waterman's screen wife, Alison Carter, in early episodes of The Sweeney (1975) and WPC Howarth in Z-Cars (1972–75), which stood her in good stead for her role as Inspector Darblay. She also made an appearance in Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads and played a recurring role as Jessie Naylor nee Maugham in Series 2 of Sam (1974). In the 1990s, Stephanie was in each episode of The Hello Girls as Miss Armitage, a supervisor of a 1950s GPO switchboard; and played Mrs Hope Q.C in two episodes of At Home with the Braithwaites. Having acted on both the stage and in various parts on television between the 1960s-2000s, Stephanie retired from acting in 2010. In recent years, she has helped drama students, has a share in an antiques business, and volunteers with Interact - a charity that allows actors to read to patients following a stroke. [1][2][3]
