Judith McBurney (19 May 1948 – 1 December 2018)
Early career
Before acting, McBurney started a successful career as a model employed by
Television soap operas
In late 1973, McBurney was cast in the role of key new character Marilyn McDonald in Number 96 but before any of her scenes had gone to air and with about 30 scenes in the can she had to withdraw from the role due to illness. This left her replacement, Frances Hargreaves, to reshoot all of McBurney's scenes.
McBurney then went into the ongoing role of plain-Jane secretary Jane Fowler in
McBurney was also famous for her voice-over work and also starring in commercials, in particular a very cheeky, controversial ad from the 1980s for Palmolive Gold, in which she features in a bed with actor Peter Mochrie. McBurney leaves a cake of soap under his pillow, which led to the famous jingle and saying "Don't wait to be told".[citation needed]
Personal life and death
McBurney retired from acting in 2002 to become an educated healer.[clarification needed] She also went on to teach modelling and acting for young people.[1] McBurney died of cancer on 1 December 2018.[3]
