Packed to the Rafters , Halifax FP and Flying Doctors star Rebecca Gibney has been inducted into the TV Week Logies Hall of Fame.
She becomes only the fourth woman inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside Ruth Cracknell, Noni Hazlehurst and Kerri-Anne Kennerley.
She wall introduced by both Claudia Karvan, Erik Thomson and son Zac Bell.
“I’m so overwhelmed,” she said.
She thanked TV Week, the Australian public, the writers, her co-stars, every crew she has worked with, her agent, and family.
“You can be anything you want in this world,” she said nodding to the women in her life who have been instrumental, from her mother to producers.
“My mother overcame the most traumatic childhood and raised six children, pretty much single handedly and often under terrible circumstances, and she taught us the most important thing in life is forgiveness, kindness and respect. ‘That you can be anything you want in this world, make sure you treat people the way you wish to be treated,” she recalled.
“And I have been so fortunate to have been guided and supported by some incredible, visionary women on this journey, from my mother to my first agent to the many female producers, directors, fellow actors and crew who have encouraged me behind the scenes. And I am very proud to be one of only four women to ever been inducted into the Hall of Fame. ButI know that there are many more to come. So thank you so much.”
