Best known for her role as Ailsa Stewart in the classic Australian soap opera Home and Away, Judy Nunn is not just a TV legend but a prolific author as well.

Selling over 1.5 million copies of her novels, the Perth-born actress-turned-author grew up travelling to remote parts of WA with her dad for work before finding stardom on the silver screen.

Judy joined Julie-anne Sprague on 6PR’s Afternoons as this week’s guest on Backstories.
