Dogged by bad luck in her acting career. When she starred in Prisoner (1979) virtually all her scenes were cut when someone threatened to sue due to her character being too similar to a real-life person. Then whilst starring in Neighbours (1985) she was bullied by members of the public who confused her nasty character with real life, causing her to have enough and give up acting.
