Australian TV legend Cornelia Frances who starred in Home and Away has died at the age of 77.
Earlier this year, she revealed that she was diagnosed with cancer.
The veteran actor, renowned for playing small‑screen villains, went public with the diagnosis in January. She told Nine's A Current Affair earlier this year that being naughty and wicked on‑screen was great fun.
Frances, who was nominated for a Logie six times over her career, emigrated to Australia in the 1970s. She became a household name while playing the tenacious nurse Grace Scott on Nine's The Young Doctors.
From there, she went on to portray Barbara Hamilton on Seven's Sons and Daughters before taking up the role of Morag Bellingham on Home and Away across four decades.
