Virginia Robyn Hey (born June 19, 1952[1]) is an Australian actress, widely known for her role as Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan on science fiction television program Farscape.

Early life

Virginia Hey was born in Sydney, Australia. She has three brothers and a sister.[3] She spent her childhood in Australia and London, England.[1]

Modeling career

Hey began her career as a fashion model after being discovered at a bus stop.[1] She appeared on several magazine covers and started her acting career in television ads (57 in all), television drama and films in Australia and the UK. At 21 she married but the marriage only lasted six months.[3] She also dated INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and Duran Duran's John Taylor.

Acting career

Among Hey's best known film roles are the Warrior Woman in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and as a Bond girl in The Living Daylights. One of her most notable roles on television was that of the blue priestess Zhaan in Farscape, for which she was nominated for best supporting actress.[1] She left the show after three seasons because she wanted to grow her hair and eyebrows (she had to shave both for the show).[1] and also for health reasons; the blue makeup worn over her head and chest to achieve Zhaan's appearance caused her kidneys to bleed, subsequently causing a decline in her health.[4]

Hey has also appeared in various Australian soap operas including Prisoner as Leigh Templar, Neighbours as Beth Travers, E Street as Jennifer St. James, and Pacific Drive as Margaux Hayes.
