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.
