Television roles

She played in the risqué, satirical 1970s soap opera The Box as Kay Webster,[1] and the in the 1980s melodrama Sons and Daughters as Alison Carr. The Alison Carr character was revealed to be the post-plastic surgery incarnation of the show's original and much vaunted villain, 'Pat The Rat' – Patricia Hamilton,[4] originally played by Rowena Wallace.

Since 2013, she has also guest starred in The Horizon, a gay shortform web-series on YouTube, as Wilma (the drag queen's) mother.[7]

Theatre

In 2016, she performed at the Sydney Opera House, 'Blonde Poison',[2] a one-woman show about a Jewish woman who became a Nazi collaborator during World War II.[4]

In 2017, she appeared in 'Bent 101' as 'Babs DeVure' in an Australian short form comedy series that was on the Seven Network.[1]
