Charity: Positive Women
Val Lehman is best known to audiences as inmate Bea Smith from the long-running Australian television series Prisoner. The series was a smash hit in 20 countries leading Val to become a familiar face the world over. During her four years on the show, Val won three TV Week Logie awards including a Silver Logie for most popular actress in 1982.
She says “I’ll be the oldest by miles I should imagine. That doesn’t bother me
either. I might pull rank and get the bed nearest the loo because I’ve
got the oldest bladder. I’m into anything, from pigeon tosses to
manslaughter. How many people are offered the opportunity to do
something like this? Why would you turn it down? And plus, they are
going to pay me for it. I’m not doing anything else at the moment so why
not. If they do their job well, they will be fair. If they just want to
create an atmosphere, well good luck to them. It is completely out of
my control but then editing always is, I’ve had my very best scenes cut
before.
Lives: Queensland
More recently, Australian audiences have seen Val on stage as the haughty Miss Lynch in the big-budget musical, Grease.
Val now lives on Macleay Island and is a proud mother and grandmother.
