MAGGIE KIRKPATRICK ' MY FIRST NUDE DCENE AT 80!

THE VETERAN STAR REVEALS WHY SHE STRIPPED OFF FOR HER LATEST ROLE
With a career spanning several decades and a long list of highly esteemed film, television and theatre credits to her name, Maggie Kirkpatrick is a veteran of the entertainment industry.
But her latest role in Stan’s new drama series, Eden, marked a major new milestone for the 80-year-old actress – her very first nude scene!
“I thought it was fairly brave,” Maggie tells New Idea.
“You know, if I had been asked to do that 50 years ago, I’d have said no – and that was when I had a decent body! But hey, what the hell.”
The eight-part original series unfolds in an idyllic coastal town called Eden, where the disappearance of a young girl begins to unravel the long-buried secrets of the seemingly perfect community.
Maggie plays Florence, the mother of disgraced policeman, Ezra Katz (Samuel Johnson), who is suffering from dementia. As such, the need to disrobe made perfect sense for Maggie.

Yuletide ANGELS
When Renee Speranza and Dom Orlando tell people they are Christmas tree stylists, the assumption is they're hired by people who have cash to splash, and live in homes that require enormous and perfectly styled decorations. While this can be true, the pair, both mums, also work with families who need help for some very different reasons.
