In the ABC television series, The Mercury, not-so-loosely based on the Sunday Age, she played a senior journalist, with Geoffrey Rush cast as editor, believed to be modelled on Bruce Guthrie.
Her television credits included: Murder Call, Wildside, Water Rats, Farscape, The Alien Years, Turtle Beach, Young Lions, and All Saints. She was the daughter of doctor and rowing coach Eric Longley and Pam. When she was young the family lived in Seaforth, subsequently moving to Northwood.
