Ilona Rodgers

Actor Ilona Rodgers won fans as conniving magazine editor Maxine Redfern in beloved prime time soap Gloss; she followed it in 1992 with three seasons on Marlin Bay. Rodgers' career had began long before, in her native England. Along the way,  she has acted alongside Doctor Who and The Beverly Hillbillies, and worked everywhere from London to Melbourne and Queenstown.

The actors are only one arc of a magic circle. When the sound, the lighting, the acting and direction all come together, then and only then does it all work. Ilona Rodgers in North and South, July 1989, page 103
