 Lisa Chappell - Gloss baby to gun-toting villain

Lisa Chappell began her screen career playing spoilt rich kid Chelsea Redfern in the 80s glamour soap Gloss. From there she went on to star in the TV dramas Shark in the Park and City Life. In the 90s Chappell moved to Australia and landed the role that made her world famous – Claire in McLeod’s Daughters. Between small screen gigs, Chappell squeezed in some notable film projects, such as the fantastical period romp Desperate Remedies, and the sci-fi drama Jack Brown Genius. In 2009 Chappell returned to NZ television playing gun-toting villain Sophie in the TV2 drama The Cult.

In this ScreenTalk interview, Chappell discusses:

  • Being the ‘baby’ and eating the props on the hit show Gloss
  • Not being recognised at an audition for Shark in the Park
  • Being covered in mud while actor Michael Hurst buried his face in her breasts
  • Modelling the character of Claire in McLeod’s Daughters after the men in her life
  • Her murderous character on The Cult, and the trauma of having to shoot a co-star
