Mary Ward (mum in the show Prisoner)

[Keith]

Acclaimed television actress Mary Ward, who was also one of Australia's first female media voices, has died at the age of 106.
Ward is perhaps best remembered for her role in Prisoner in which she played Jeanette Brooks, a long-time inmate known as 'Mum', from 1979 to 1981.
She also appeared in several other popular soap operas of the era, including Sons and Daughters, A Country Practice and Neighbours.

R.I.P Mary. 106 is a good innings.

Here I was thinking John 'Strop' Cornell being 80 when he died was surprising.

I had no idea Mary was as old as she was.

Certainly a very long lifetime in media and entertainment.
