TV WEEK Gold Logie feature: Georgie Parker

During her time on A Country Practice playing Sister Lucy Gardiner, Georgie Parker won the TV WEEK Logie for Most Popular New Talent in 1990 before going on to score three TV WEEK Silver Logies for Most Popular Actress on TV. It was another nursing role in the hospital drama All Saints that saw the actress come away with two consecutive TV WEEK Gold Logie wins.

She plays ex-nun and Nurse Unit Manager Terri Sullivan, a role 38-year-old Georgie combines with being a mother to two-year-old Holly and wife to Bootmen scriptwriter Steve Worland.

Georgie's career took off in 1988 when she landed the role on A Country Practice, and after her departure four years later she maintained a constant workload. After a stint on sitcom Acropolis Now, she had parts in Over the Hill and Fire before deciding to turn her hand to theatre.

Here she excelled, winning critial acclaim for her role as leading lady Polly Baker in the hit 1996 musical Crazy For You. After three years away, however, Georgie again felt the tug of the small screen and accepted a role in the telemovie Reprisal.

In 1997 she joined the series All Saints, and it's here she enjoys her present fame and success. She is and always will be one of Australia's golden girls of television, her bubbly personality making it impossibe not to warm to the star.

With seven TV WEEK Logie Awards (two of which are gold) already decorating Georgie's Sydney residence, we wish her the best of luck at this year's TV WEEK Logies on May 11.
