Bea Smith ( Prisoner- cell block H) was a groover but I liked Vinegar T1ts - purely for her nickname and her hard core mean woman attitude.
George Miller, the director of Mad Max, is a fav of mine. My friends and I were well into Mad Max 1 and 2 (I refused to watch Mad Max 3 and never will) when we were unstable youths. We'd watch Max then head out on our motorbikes for some mayhem around the city. Ahhh those were the days.
Old Lizzie out of Prisoner cell block H was in the first Mad Max film.
Oh and Plain Jane Super Brain was in Neighbours, not Home and Away, unless H and A ran the exact same story line, which would not surprise me in the least.
