Actress

The Resume

    (January 20, 1950- )
    Born in Smethwick, United Kingdom
    Born Louise Goddard
    Clarissa Merrick (aka Clancy) on ‘Skippy (the Bush Kangaroo; series 1 and 2),’ Victoria on ‘Take Three Girls,’ April in ‘The Brothers (1972),’ and Lily on ‘Yes, Honestly’
    Co-author of ‘Working with Children and Animals’

Why she might be annoying:

    Her acting career actually began down under (where her relocated father became Head of Drama at the national TV network).
    She had a tempestuous relationship with her mother — particularly when she introduced her to her half-sister.
    She had a breast cancer scare (1997).
    On top of a son by another relationship, she had a son by Colin Baker (not yet Doctor Who) and a daughter by Alvin Stardust (whom she met on the set of ‘This Is Your Life’).
    She claimed to have a ‘lovely body’ in her youth that she wished she had flaunted more.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She credits her long run on ‘Skippy’ with fostering her love of domestic and wild fauna — farting kangaroos and all.
    She sued a national newspaper over disproven allegations of an affair stemming out of a television storyline in which she and the actor in question were involved.
    Do not get between her and her Birkenstocks or jeans.
    Her third marriage lasted 23 years, until her 20-years-older husband’s death.
    She advises rising young actresses with similar body types: ‘You’re gorgeous. Show it off.’
