Lola Montez

 was a dancer in the 19th century. She was famous for her Spider Dance and for her string of liaisons across Europe.

Lola came to Ajax Camp in California to perform, accompanied by her pianist Walter Crabtree. They came across the Sixth Doctor. The miners of the town were possessed by an alien after drinking watered-down whiskey, but Lola was unaffected because she drank her whiskey "neat". When the Doctor tried to communicate with the alien, Lola distracted the miners by dancing for them. After the Doctor freed the men, Lola offered him a job as her manager, but he turned her down.
