Timeline

1930

Australian stage and film actress who began appearing in pioneer "down under" movies of the early 1930s.

1931

An Australian actress whose 70-year career in theatre, radio, Australian film and Australian television made her one of her country's most recognizable and beloved personalities. A native of Melbourne, Thelma Scott began her career in the theatre at the age of 18 with the Gregan McMahon Players. Her first professional acting role was as Ilona Szabo in McMahon's 1931 production of The Play's the Thing at Melbourne's Comedy Theatre. She followed this with roles in productions of Six Characters in Search of an Author, Too Good to Be True and Wind in the Rain.

A pioneer in many early Australia motion pictures she appeared in her first film in 1931, The Haunted Barn, a short produced by Efftee Studios and directed by Gregan McMahon. Following this came roles in feature films Diggers in Blighty and Harmony Row starring popular comedian George Wallace.

1932

In 1932 she appeared with Coral Browne in the comedy Take Two from One.

1933

In 1933 they again acted together, this time in Children in Uniform for Efftee Players.

The films premiered as a double bill in Melbourne in February 1933. Almost a year later, she and Wallace appeared together in the film A Ticket in Tatts. During this period Scott also acted in radio plays, and she continued her theatre work.

1934

She was critically acclaimed in her 1934 performance as Tessa in the play The Constant Nymph. Based on this, she was offered a six-year contract with J. C. Williamson's theatre company, with the intention of grooming her for musical comedy. Scott chose to move in the direction of drama, opting for a role in the thriller Ten Minute Alibi, which had a successful run, touring Sydney and Melbourne. She subsequently signed with radio 2CH, emerging as one of Australia's biggest radio stars.

1940

She attracted both popular and critical praise for her work in the medium, and acted in countless radio productions throughout the 1940s. Her radio work included runs in two ongoing radio soap operas.

1942

The first, Big Sister, in which she starred as Ruth Evans, aired nationally for five years from 1942. After it ended, she acted in the serial Crossroads of Life.

1947

She won the Macquarie Award in 1947 and, in 1949, again acted on film, playing family matriarch Jane O'Riordan in Charles Chauvel's epic Sons of Matthew.

1951

In 1951 she travelled to London, where she was later joined by her former Sydney housemate, actress Gwen Plumb. Scott acted on the London stage, appearing in An Evening with Beatrice Lillie at the Globe Theatre, replacing the departed Constance Carpenter. Scott also did her first television work in the UK, working on a BBC comedy series and hosting her own show, How to Manage Men.

1957

She returned to Australia in 1957, where her acting career continued on television.

1961

She acted in the early soap opera The Story of Peter Grey (1961), followed by appearances in the rural serial Bellbird and guest roles in Skippy the Bush Kangaroo and Delta.

1965

Scott also worked as a director on the opening night show of Channel Ten Sydney in 1965, titled TV Spells Magic, and did a stint as director on the daily chat show The Gwen Plumb Show.

1967

She continued to act in the theatre, performing with Ray Milland in Hostile Witness at Sydney's Tivoli Theatre in 1967, and in 1968 acted in J. C. Williamson's production of Spring and Port Wine, playing Daisy Crompton opposite Alfred Marks.

1972

Following this came the role of imperious Point Piper socialite Claire Houghton, the mother of Abigail's character in the television soap opera Number 96 starting in 1972. The role of Claire had been devised by the show's creator David Sale specifically for Thelma Scott. Claire became a popular recurring character in the serial, initially despairing at the "shabby" apartment block Number 96 that her daughter Bev Houghton chose to live in. She soon befriended other residents such as Don (Joe Hasham) and Vera (Elaine Lee), and formed business associations with Jack (Tom Oliver) and Maggie (Bettina Welch).

1974

These associations sustained Claire's continued role in the series after the death of Bev in January 1974, and formed the basis for her inclusion in the feature film version of the series released in 1974.

1977

Though Claire's appearances diminished in the serial's middle years, she was relaunched into the show for its final few months, and was central to several key storylines during the 1977 episodes. Serena, a small black poodle owned by the actress, sometimes appeared as Claire's pet, Serena, in these final episodes. Claire's signature phrase in the series was "Allow me to be the best judge of that".

After Number 96 ended in 1977 Scott continued to act on Australian television, making a guest appearance in Glenview High (1977), and sustaining a role in the medical serial The Young Doctors in 1980. She later played the recurring role of Mrs.
