Woman's Day Australia
|July 4, 2022
One of our favourite stars has never been happier, healthier or more in demand
You might have recently spotted actress Di Smith with her famous red curls bouncing and a huge grin on her face as she plunges into a pool as part of a new Bupa television commercial.
While Di is busy making a splash, Woman’s Day can reveal off camera the 64-year-old former star of A Country Practice and The Great Outdoors is also living her best life!
Recently the soap favourite has been busy producing a smash hit play all about women.
“I’ve had such a wonderful year so far,” shares Di, who has just filmed a guest role in comedian Celeste Barber’s much-anticipated new eight-part Netflix comedy-drama series Wellmania.
“I’m one of her biggest fans. I listened to her reading her book, Challenge Accepted, a few years ago and I just fell in love with her. She’s a mighty fine actor, hilarious and so good-hearted.
