Anne Mary Phelan, OAM (born 2 August 1944), is a much awarded Australian actress, who has appeared prominently in theatre, Australian television productions and soap operas, including ''Prisoner'' where she played the role of 'Top Dog' Myra Desmond and Monica Taylor in ''Something in the Air''. She is the winner of two AFI Television Awards. ==Acting career== Phelan had an ongoing role in soap opera ''Bellbird'' in the early 1970s. In the late 1970s she played guest roles in ''Prisoner''. She took the role of a prison officer (Officer Manson), appearing in one episode of the series in 1979. This character had the sole purpose of threatening to resign over the favourable treatment afforded to prisoner Barbara Davidson in episode 17. Later in 1979 she reappeared in the series, this time playing the role of dopey prisoner Bernadette in a number of episodes. She first appeared on screen as Myra Desmond on a recurring basis between 1980 and 1983; Myra was then reintroduced to the series in early 1984 as a regular character, and continued in the role for a further eighteen months. Anne's passionate and commanding performance on screen would make Myra Desmond one of ''Prisoner's'' most memorable and iconic characters. Myras brutal exit from the show was arguably the most dramatic exit of any character and remains a fan favourite. Phelan's other soap roles include ''Starting Out'' (1983), ''Family and Friends'' (1990), and ''Something in the Air'' (2000–2002). She has made guest starring appearances in many drama series including ''The Flying Doctors'' and ''Blue Heelers''. She was also a regular in ''Marshall Law'' and appeared in the ABC comedy ''Mother and Son'', playing the role of a social worker who befriends Maggie Beare. She has also made two guest appearances in ''Neighbours'', the first in 1997, was the character of Claudia Harvey and the second, which was in 2004, was of Doreen "Peace Dove" Cassidy. In 2007, Phelan appeared in episode 6 of The Librarians as a prisoner with the ''Prisoner'' theme song. She is currently starring in the Australian drama/ comedy ''Winners & Losers''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anne Phelan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
