Katie Boyle, Lady Saunders (born Caterina Irene Elena Maria Imperiali di Francavilla on 29 May 1926) is an Italian-born British actress, television personality, and game-show panelist, well known for appearing on TV panel games such as ''What's My Line?'' and for presenting the Eurovision Song Contest in the 1960s and 1970s.

==Early life and career==
She was born in Florence, Italy, the daughter of an Italian marquis (the Marchese Demetrio Imperiali di Francavilla), and his wife, Dorothy Kate Ramsden. She came to Great Britain in 1946 and started her modelling career, which included work for such publications as ''Vogue''. She also appeared in several 1950s films, the first being ''Old Mother Riley, Headmistress'', (1950) in which she was billed as Catherine Carleton, followed by ''I'll Never Forget You'' (uncredited, 1951), ''Not Wanted on Voyage'' (1957), ''The Truth About Women'' (also 1957), ''Intent to Kill'' (1958) with Richard Todd, and ''The Diary of Major Thompson'' (1955), with Jack Buchanan, filmed in France by Preston Sturges.〔Boyle, Katie, ''What This Katie Did: An Autobiography''.Littlehampton Book Services Ltd, 1st edition (9 October 1980); ISBN 978-0-297-77814-1.〕
Boyle was an on-screen continuity announcer for the BBC in the 1950s. A decade later she became a television personality regularly appearing on panel games and programmes such as ''What's My Line?'' and ''Juke Box Jury''. In 1968 she appeared, alongside comedian Lance Percival, in the fledgling Thames Television's panel quiz game of medical knowledge ''Lance That Boyle.'' The show was cancelled after only three episodes.〔Turow, J. (2010), ''Playing Doctor: Television, Storytelling, and Medical Power]], University of Michigan Press, 978-0472034277, page 296.〕 She was the presenter for the 1960, 1963, 1968 and 1974 Eurovision Song Contests, all hosted in the UK. According to author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor's ''The Eurovision Song Contest - The Official History'', Boyle hosted the 1974 contest minus her underwear, which was cut off from under her satin dress moments before the broadcast began.〔O'Connor, John Kennedy. ''The Eurovision Song Contest - The Official History''. Carlton Books, UK. 2007; ISBN 978-1-84442-994-3〕 She also hosted the UK qualifying heat, ''A Song for Europe'', in 1961. In the 1960s, she appeared in a long-running series of television advertisements for Camay soap.〔()〕〔()〕
In 1982 she played herself in the BBC radio play ''The Competition'', which told the story of a fictitious international song contest being staged in Bridlington. Boyle was guest of honour at the Eurovision fan club conventions staged in 1988 and 1992. She appeared at the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest held in Birmingham as a special guest of the BBC. Her other work has included theatre, television (''What's Up Dog?'') and radio (''Katie and Friends''). In 2004, Boyle was a guest on a special Eurovision-themed celebrity version of ''The Weakest Link'' on BBC1, hosted by Anne Robinson. Boyle became the first, and to date the only, contestant ever to vote herself off the programme.
