	Actors - Wendy Blacklock

Wendy Blacklock (born Sydney, Australia) was an Australia-based theatre and television actor best known for her long-running role of Edie MacDonald in the 1970s television soap opera Number 96.

Blacklock's acting career began on the stage and she spent two years in England acting in repertory theatre. She returned to Australia and had a solid career in the theatre which included stage tours of Australia and New Zealand. Prior to the role in Number 96 she had played in theatrical productions of Don's Party
and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and made a few guest appearances in Australian television drama series.

The role in Number 96 began in January 1974. At that time the show was Australia's highest-rated television program and Blacklock's character, dizzy housewife Edie - otherwise known as "Mummy" - along with Edie's regimented husband Reg (Mike Dorsey) and their adopted daughter Marilyn (Frances Hargreaves), became popular and enduring comedy characters in the series. Blacklock played in the series continuously until it ended in August 1977 and was in fact the final person shown in the closing scene of the last episode. During 1977 she also appeared occasionally as a panellist on game show Graham Kennedy's Blankety Blanks.
