Despite pleas from Sellers' friends, Frederick did not give Sellers' children any further settlements due to her rocky relationship with them. Further controversy followed after Sellers' tragic death on July 24, 1980, (one day before Frederick's 26th birthday) when Frederick was named the beneficiary of nearly his entire will and estate while his children (whom Sellers had never gotten along with and had been estranged from for many years) had gotten hardly anything. Much public scrutiny fell upon Frederick for marrying the much older Sellers, and she often became the target of negative press and tabloids. Their marriage was often tampered with rumors of Frederick being a gold digger, drug use by both parties, and Sellers' health issues. Lynne Frederick and Peter Sellers' relationship was good in the early stages but eventually turned destructive and tempestuous. A year later, she married fellow actor, Peter Sellers, and would make her final theatrical role alongside him in The Prisoner of Zenda (1979). Her most triumphant film role came in the Oscar-nominated historical drama, Voyage of the Damned (1976). Frederick returned to the horror film scene with her leading role in the 1976 slasher film Schizo (1976). She also had a long-running television career starring in various shows and films made for television. But her acting credits were not limited to just movies. Frederick then starred in two romantic Spanish films, El vicio y la virtud (1975) and Largo retorno (1975). (1975) which was followed by Red Coat (1975). The first was the very graphic Italian spaghetti western The Four of the Apocalypse. Frederick co-starred with the Italian Casanovian actor Fabio Testi in two films back-to-back as his love interest. Although not a success during its initial release, Phase IV gained a cult following in the years that followed due to its airings on late-night television. She followed in films with the 1974 science fiction thriller, Phase IV (1974), for which she was required to appropriate an American accent.

For this role, she garnered the very first London Evening Standard British Film Award for 'Best New Coming Actress'. Her most well-known screen role came in the 1972 family film, The Amazing Mr.

She continued in films with a supporting role in the now cult film, Vampire Circus (1972). Her adaptation of Howard made Tudor cinema history as Frederick was the first actress to portray Howard from a historically accurate and sympathetic point of view. In her next film, Henry VIII and His Six Wives (1972), she played another royal figure, the ill-fated fifth wife of Henry VIII, Catherine Howard. Her next and more prestigious role came as Tsar Nicholas's second eldest daughter, Tatiana, in the 1971 Oscar-winning British biographical film, Nicholas and Alexandra (1971). Her debut role came in the 1970 British-American apocalyptic science fiction film, No Blade of Grass (1970). Despite no previous experience (in theater, commercials, or films) she got her very first acting job at her first audition. After much thought and consideration, she decided to take a shot at the chance of a lifetime and accepted the role. The next day, while she was at school preparing for her Latin exams, she received a phone call from her mother stating that Wilde wanted her for his film and that she had two hours to decide if she wanted to take the role and leave school to peruse an acting career. Wilde was immediately smitten by Lynne's youthful and dramatic beauty, and after interviewing hundreds of girls, decided that Lynne would be perfect for his up-and-coming film project. In much the same manner as Marilyn Monroe and Lana Turner, Frederick was plucked from obscurity when she met film director, Cornel Wilde, at Thames Television Studio as she was posing for some color camera test shots. Growing up, Lynne attended Notting Hill and Ealing High School and originally intended to become a teacher of physics and mathematics with no intentions of working in Hollywood.

Frederick's father walked out of her life when she was no more than two years of age and she was raised by her grandmother and mother, who worked for Thames Television. Lynne Wagner Harding Frederick was born in Hillingdon, Uxbridge, United Kingdom to Iris and Andrew Frederick on July 25, 1954. Before Kate Winslet and Emma Watson, there was Lynne Frederick the original English Rose. Although best remembered as the fourth and final wife of British comedian, Peter Sellers, Frederick has started gaining a cult following in recent years. For 10 years, she captivated moviegoers with her perfect combination of girl-next-door beauty, an angelic smile, an ethereal charm, and a classic fairy tale princess look that was all put into one gifted package.

Lynne Frederick was a promising and ascending British actress of the 1970s.
