“I worked with Cornelia for many years,” McGranger said. “She was very loved and respected. In a way she paved the way for women in Australian TV always playing such strong characters. My thoughts are with Lawrence and her family.”
Nicodemou said, “Cornelia was very loved and respected. She will be sadly missed. Lawrence, her family and friends are in our thoughts.”
Frances, who also starred in The Young Doctors and Brothers and Sisters, passed away over night after battling bladder cancer which had spread to her thigh.
