Carole Skinner(I)
- Actress
Carole is a much respected actress, having essayed several examples of
iconic Australian character in her range of supporting roles in films
such as Monkey Grip, My Brilliant Career, The Good Wife and Heatwave.
She is perhaps best known to international audiences through her TV
work, with a long career negotiating the commercial (guest roles in
soaps such as "Neighbours", "The Young Doctors" and "Sons And
Daughters") with the respectable, playing black marketeer Delie Stock
in the acclaimed TV adaptations of Ruth Park's novels "A Harp In The
South" and "Poor Man's Orange". Her most high profile TV role is
possibly in the cult drama "Prisoner", in which Carole played the
wisecracking multiple murderess Nola McKenzie. The character of Nola
was intended to stay in the series as a long-term regular, and many
"Prisoner" fans remain disappointed by Carole's departure from the
series after six months. Carole resides in Sydney and continues to work
predominantly in theatre.
