<P> Agutter came to television audiences as Kirsty in the twice - weekly BBC series The Newcomers . The character Kirsty was the daughter of the new managing director of Eden Brothers, the fictional firm that was at the centre of the series . Agutter could appear only during school holidays . At this stage of her career she was listed in credits as Jennifer . In 1968, she was featured in the lavish big - budget 20th Century Fox film musical Star! with Julie Andrews as Gertrude Lawrence . In that motion picture, Agutter played Lawrence's neglected daughter Pamela . Later she played Roberta in a BBC adaptation of The Railway Children (1968) and played the same part in Lionel Jeffries's 1970 film of the book . She followed this with a more serious role in the thriller I Start Counting (1969). She also won an Emmy as supporting actress for her television role as Fritha, in a British television adaptation of The Snow Goose (1971). </P> <P> Agutter moved into adult roles, beginning with Walkabout (1971), playing a teenage schoolgirl lost with her younger brother in the Australian outback . She auditioned for the role in 1967 but funding problems delayed filming until 1969 . The delay meant Agutter was 16 at the time of filming, which allowed the director to include nude scenes . Among them was a five - minute skinny - dipping scene, which was cut from the original US release . She said at the 2005 Bradford Film Festival at the National Media Museum that she was shocked by the film's explicitness but remains on good terms with director Nicolas Roeg .

Agutter has commented that the innocence of the characters she played in her early films, combined with the costumes and nudity in later adult roles such as Logan's Run, Equus and An American Werewolf in London, are "perfect fantasy fodder". </P> <P> In 1990, Agutter returned to the UK to concentrate on family life and her focus shifted towards British television .
