Not familiar with her acting, but I am impressed:
Mary Ward (6 March 1915 – 19 July 2021), also known as Mary Ward Breheny, was an Australian actress of stage, television, and film, and a radio announcer and performer and commercial spokeswoman and media personality[1],her career spanned five decades. Ward trained in England and Australia, and worked in both countries.
Ward during the outbreak of World War II, was in high demand as a stage actress in England, before returning to Australia where she worked in local theatre, and became one of the first female radio announcers at the ABC in Australia, billed as the Forces Sweetheart on Radio Australia[1]
At ABC Television, she appeared in a number of filmed stage plays, as well as featuring in Australian films, both made-for-television and theatrical.
She is perhaps best known—both locally and internationally—as an actress portraying elderly characters in television soap opera roles, including the original character of convict "Mum" (Jeanette) Brooks in the cult series Prisoner, in which she appeared sporadically from 1979 and 1981,[3] and as devious Dee Morrell in the soap opera Sons and Daughters in 1983. Ward also had smaller roles in Neighbours and Blue Heelers. In 2020, Ward, who resided in Melbourne, turned 105 years old, and was at the time the oldest living actress in Australia.[4]
