Jennifer Ludlam

Alongside a busy theatrical career, Jennifer Ludlam has acted onscreen at home and in Australia (Sons and Daughters, Prisoner). Award-winning turns came as an ex-prostitute falling for an undercover cop in 1993 TV-movie Undercover. Three years later she was news anchor Liz Whiteman in Cover Story. Ludlam won again as the put-upon mother in Apron Strings, before acting in TV comedy Golden and thriller The Blue Rose.

Jennifer Ludlam is especially compelling as the desperately sad matriarch, ill-equipped to deal with her son’s incorrigible problems ... Joe Sheppard, reviewing Apron Strings on The Lumiere Reader, 11 August 2008
