Some Famous People called Sheila Kennelly
Sheila Kennelly
Sheila Kennelly (born 28 December 1937), also credited as Sheila Kenneally, is an English Australian retired character actress of theatre, television and film, with a career spanning over 50 years. From the late 1950s onwards, her early career was based in theatre and she didn't start her screen career until the late-1960s becoming well known for her roles in TV soap operas, serials, sitcoms and mini-series. She became a household name as comedy character Norma Whittaker in the hugely popular serial Number 96. As barmaid Norma her trademark catchphrase was calling everyone "Ducky". In reunion with the cast of Number 96 in 2009, on Where Are They Now?, she stated she wanted to become a serious actor featuring in plays by such dramatists as Arthur Miller and Bertolt Brecht, but ended up in 96 instead as Norma, in which she used a blonde wig to disguise the real "Sheila". From 1980 until 1984, she appeared opposite Ross Higgins as Rosa Berlucci in sitcom Kingswood Country.
In 1987 she was given the choice of appearing in a small role in upcoming film Evil Angels. She stated at the time she would have loved to have been in the film, just to say she had appeared with Meryl Streep, but turned it down to appear in new Seven Network soap opera Home and Away as one of 16 original characters. She played retired carnival worker Floss McPhee for the first year of screening, but was written out as the producers wanted to concentrate on a younger cast, she however returned on numerous occasions as a guest until retiring in 2008.
