Ilona Rodgers (born April 28 1942) is a British actress and television presenter who has lived and worked in several countries.
In the United Kingdom in 1964 she played the role of Carol in The Sensorites, a six episode adventure of the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who. Other television roles included brief appearances in The Saint and The Avengers.
Rodgers lived in New Zealand from 1973 and in Australia between 1978 and 1985.
