This beloved actress has graced our screens since 1980 when she was just 16, but what were Rebecca Gibney’s best movies and TV shows among her many roles? Get ready to feel nostalgic as we wind back to the 90s and early 2000s.
Even though we know her from our Australian TVs did you know that she’s actually from New Zealand? Wherever she’s from, Rebecca Catherine Gibney can certainly count herself as an Aussie now.

Coming in number one, you can see why with the memories coming flooding back. This Australian comedy was all that families could talk about, eagerly waiting for the Tuesday airing to come around. To jog your memory, Rebecca played Julie Rafter the witty wife to on-screen husband Erik Thompson!
When Back To The Rafters reboot came back, Rebecca Gibney really stole the show with her outlandish personality shining through.

How could we not include one of Rebecca’s most recent roles in THE Australian movie, The Dressmaker? Muriel Pratt made us laugh desperately to pair her shy daughter with the IT boy of the town.
When her daughter transformed into a swan and woohed the love interest, we couldn’t help but be happy for mum Muriel!

Just look at how young she is there! Starring across from familiar face Peter O’Brien, we are travelling back in time to 1987 when she did a publicity shot for The Flying Doctors. Even though she arrived six episodes late, we quickly fell in love with the down-to-earth mechanic, Emma Plimpton.
We’re sure she’s bingeing the Royal Flying Doctor Service reboot with season 2 about to come out!

How could we not include this one with Rebecca literally voicing Salem’s love interest, a seductive woman named Hillary Hexton! But who is Hillary? Well, a white cat trapped in animal form of course! Even though she gets little screen time, she sure does pack a punch as a cat.
We still have fond memories of rewinding the Down Under videotape just to watch the cats romance.
