Rosemary Nicols (born October 28 1941) is a British actress, born Rosemary Claxton. She comes from a theatrical family and was the author of the 1967 book The Loving Adventures of Jaby.
She made appearances as a child actress, before studying at the Central School of Speech and Drama. In the mid-60s she featured in the film The Pleasure Girls and on stage in Fiddler on the Roof. She appeared in numerous television series, such as Undermind (1965) and Man in a Suitcase (1968), but her best-known role was as computer expert Annabelle Hurst in the television series Department S. The experience seems not to have been an entirely happy one, not least because the character was fairly blandly drawn, and co-star Peter Wyngarde has hinted at a degree of mutual animosity .
Later roles included Anna Sergeyevna in a 1971 adaptation of Ivan Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, and appearances in shows like The Persuaders, but Nicols was soon to give up acting; she married and moved to Malta to concentrate on writing.
She subsequently moved to the United States.
She was the writer of the book 'The loving adventures of Jaby' in 1967 as well as having some of her poems published in a London magazine.
