rebecca gibney

Rebecca Gibney is one of our most beloved and respected actors. While she’s been a permanent fixture on our big and small screens for over forty years, it's her warmth, authenticity and those sparkling eyes that really draw us in.

In this episode Rebecca shares her journey of overcoming insecurities and imposter syndrome stemming from a difficult childhood. She emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and letting go of pain and resentment. Rebecca also opens up to Jess about the significance of kindness, forgiveness, and living in the present moment, and also shares her experiences in Hollywood and an encounter with Tom Cruise she wasn't quite expecting.

Show Notes: 

Rebecca Gibney is one of Australasia's most-loved actresses. A household name in both Australia and New Zealand, her performance as Julie Rafter on Packed to the Rafters earned her a Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality and two Silver Logies for Most Popular Actress.

But accolades aside - and she has many more - Rebecca has been winning hearts on our screens for decades. From The Flying Doctors and Halifax fp TV series to the film, The Dressmaker she has shared her beauty, talent and charisma with us.

Now in her 50s, she is refreshingly candid about filters and growing older as well as sharing her wonderful sense of humour on social media. 

Currently starring as beautiful Daisy and executive producing the popular rom-com series Under The Vines Rebecca drops in for a quick visit to Women On Fire® to talk about Daisy, menopause, and growing older. 

Rebecca is a genuinely delightful person and we were thrilled to have her as our guest. She shared some wonderful tips and advice. And don't be fooled by her humbleness, she was included in Who Magazine's World's Most Beautiful People in 2018 when she would have been around 50.

On today's episode, I talk to actor Rebecca Gibney. Originally from Levin, New Zealand, Rebecca grew up the youngest of six children, and after a somewhat tumultuous childhood, eventually found her way into acting. She first acted in shows like Zoo Family and The Flying Doctors, and in the 1990s starred in shows like Snowy and Halifax f.p. Without going into her full IMDB, Rebecca continued to star in shows and movies including a number of Stephen King miniseries, and in the mid-20teens co-created and co-starred in the wonderful show Wanted. Currently, Rebecca can be seen here in the States every Monday for the next month and a half on the AcornTV show Under the Vines.
