Millicent Martin (born 8 June 1934) is an English actress, singer and comedienne. During the early 1960s, Martin became well-known to television audiences as the resident singer of topical songs on the weekly satire show, That Was the Week That Was. She was married to pop singer Ronnie Carroll, but they divorced. She has been married to Marc Alexander, a U.S. citizen, since 1978. She is a permanent resident of the USA.
