Australian screen and stage actor Janet Andrewartha has died aged 72.
Andrewartha was born in the US on 16 September 1952, later moving to Australia with her family.
Fellow Neighbours actor Jackie Woodburne paid tribute to Andrewartha in an Instagram post, saying, ‘Janet was one of the finest actors of her generation, but more than that, she was an extraordinary woman. Passionate, political, curious, delightfully eccentric, generous and fun. To me she was a steadfast friend for over 45 years. I will miss her every day.’
