Jackie Woodburne
Jackie Woodburne (born 5 February 1957, in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, Northern Ireland) is an Australian actress. She has been in many of Australia's most popular television soap operas, such as Sons and Daughters, A Country Practice and The Young Doctors (Maggie Gordon).
However, her most memorable roles are Julie Egbert in Prisoner, whom she played from 1985-1986, and Susan Kennedy (later Smith, now Kinski) in Neighbours, whom she has played since 1994. Ironically, she previously played the sister of Alan Fletcher in Cop Shop in 1977, and now plays his wife/ex-wife in "Neighbours".
In 2005, Woodburne was nominated for the Best Female Performance in a Soap Opera award at the Rose d'Or television festival.
She is an honorary member of the Junior Common Room of St Hilda's College, Oxford and the character of Susan Kennedy was recently granted honorary membership of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford.
There is an urban legend that Jackie has tatoos all up her arm. It couldn't be further from the truth, as in many half naked scenes in Neighbours (eg at a health spar), not tatoos are visible.
There is NO substantiated evidence that Jackie is a lesbian.
