She made her debut in a Francis Durbridge thriller on London's West End. Her big break, first on British television and later on American public television, came when she was cast as Q in the series #Rock Follies, which dealt with an all-woman rock group and had music written and recorded by Andy Mackay, of Roxy Music. Although her co-star Julie Covington was the musical center of attention, Lenska's looks and exoticism were a major part of the series' visual appeal, and she also sang, if not on Covington's level. Strangely enough, her own singing voice is fairly deep, similar to Marlene Dietrich or, in more recent times, Nico, while in the series and the group, she sang harmony.
She was good enough to later work with Mackay's group the Explorers in the studio, and the Rock Follies album replaced Led Zeppelin's latest opus at the top of the U.K. charts in 1976. It was followed by a second album, Rock Follies of 77. Since then, Lenska has concentrated primarily on acting, and is probably most well known in the United States for a series of Alberta VO5 commercials in which her name was also featured prominently, making her one of those people who was "famous for being famous." ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
