Dolores B. Harding (née Mantey; 1936—30 November 2012), known professionally as Dolores Mantez, was a British television actress of the 1960s and early 1970s, best known for her appearances in Gerry Anderson's science-fiction TV series ''UFO''. She was born in Liverpool to a Ghanaian father and an Irish mother. ==Life and career== Mantez, who changed her birth surname of "Mantey" by one letter, initially followed a career as a seamstress in a dress shop. She then started to sing semi-professionally, an occupation that became a full-time job when she joined a group that appeared in cabaret. However, while she was visiting her agent, she happened to meet an actor's agent who believed that her exotic physical appearance was exactly what was needed for a role as a student in ''Sapphire'' (1959), a film about the emerging Afro-Caribbean community in England. At the time, Mantez had no acting experience, but her work on the film resulted in a succession of parts in television series such as ''Shadow Squad'' and ''The Avengers''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=R.I.P.

Mantez's acting career was boosted with a role as a nurse in the film ''Life for Ruth'' (1962), co-starring Patrick McGoohan. This in turn led to appearances in two episodes of the TV series ''Danger Man'', first as an agent working with John Drake in "Loyalty Always Pays", and then as a West Indian woman in "The Man on the Beach". She appeared as artist Rita Bell in an episode of the ABC series ''The Human Jungle'' ("The Twenty-Four Hour Man", 1964). Another of Mantez's roles was as Happy Lee, the girl suspected of Marty Hopkirk's murder in the pilot episode of the ITC series ''Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)'' ("My Late Lamented Friend and Partner", 1969). During the 1960s, Mantez appeared in a number of stage musicals; these included ''Cowardy Custard'' (the Mermaid Theatre's tribute to Noël Coward), Monty Norman's ''The Perils of Scobie Prilt'', and the West End production of ''Every Other Evening'' (starring Margaret Lockwood). She toured Europe, once appearing in ''Porgy And Bess'' in East Berlin. She may be best known for her portrayal of the purple-haired Lieutenant Nina Barry in the science-fiction TV series ''UFO'', broadcast in 1970 and 1971. Her final acting role was as Indigo Jones, a mixed-race lady of means, in an episode of the BBC series ''The Onedin Line'' ("Fetch and Carry", 1972).
