Although Ginette McDonald's career is most associated with the gormless, vowel-mangling girl-from-the-suburbs: Lyn of Tawa, she is a woman of many parts. Alongside an extensive acting and presenting career, her work as producer and director spans three decades, and includes Shark in the Park, Gliding On, and kidult series The Fire-Raiser.
No matter how much recognition McDonald gets as a producer, it is those brief sporadic performances as Lyn of Tawa that people remember her for.
– Listener writer Noel O’Hare, 1989
