Rebecca Gibney

Within two years of acting in kidult TV adventure Sea Urchins, Kiwi Rebecca Gibney had set up shop in Australia. There she would find fame  — and a long list of awards and nominations — thanks to a television CV which includes Wanted (which she also created), Packed to the Rafters, The Flying Doctors, mini-series Come in Spinner, and 21 Halifax tele-movies as forensic psychiatrist Jane Halifax.

It doesn't matter who you are, I'll always give [everyone] a go — have a chat, get my photo taken — because I don't believe I'm any better or worse than anyone. Rebecca Gibney reflects on fame, in an April 2011 Mindfood interview
