Biography,Spence was born in Kent, England to an Irish mother and an Australian-born father serving with the British Army. When her father finally left the service, Spence and her family (including her sister-in-law, casting director Kerry Spence) moved to Australia in the late 1950s. After leaving school, she was trained as a secretary and later traveled to Montreal where she was a hostess for the Australia Pavilion (Expo 67) at the Canadian Expo.After living in Canada for a year, she left for England and lived in London for a time working as a saleswoman for Fortnum & Mason. It was while seeing several plays in Londons West End, she became interested in acting. She was engaged when she was 22, but broke it off.She eventually returned to Australia and joined the Independent Theatre School where she trained for three years, before she began acting professionally during the late 1970s. She became engaged a second time, but again the relationship ended around 1978. While living in Sydney, she appeared in her first television role in the teen drama Glenview High in 1977.In 1979 she first found fame playing the sad, authoritarian prison officer Vera Bennett a character many years her senior, in cult soap opera Prisoner. It was on the set of Prisoner that she first met her long-term life partner, scriptwriter Denise Morgan. They remained together until Morgans death in 2011. The character of Vera Bennett, the shows main villain, was nicknamed Vinegar Tits. The role continued from the shows premiere in 1979 until 1981, appearing in episodes 1 to 224. In the first episode she was coldly sad. Later developments showed other more sensitive angles of her personality and explored the idea that her tough behaviour in the cell block was connected to her loneliness and social awkwardness outside the prison. Spence who played Vera with her hair in a tight bun, was hardly recognisable if she let her hair down. Spence herself commented she wasnt readily recognised in real life, as Vera whenever she wore her hair down.When producer John McRae took over day-to-day running of the series in 1981, plans were made to write Spence out of the series. Her character had become immensely popular during her two-years on the show and, when news of her departure was announced, the Ten Network received at least 100 phone calls and countless fan mail asking for Spence to remain. Spence however quietly left the show later stating I loved playing Vera. But it was time to wash that dame right out of my hair.During her last year with the show, Spence appeared in supporting roles in both the television mini-series Women of the Sun and the television movie I Can Jump Puddles, which also featured a number of other former Prisoner co-stars including Sigrid Thornton, Sandy Gore, Lesley Baker and Anne Phelan. Other minor characters from the series included Ian Smith, Terry Gill, Don Barker, Maurie Fields and Edward Hepple. In March 1984, she starred alongside Geraldine Cook in the 60-min. softcore feminist black comedy Mums at the La Mama Theatre. The play was about the manic lives of two women trapped in a high-rise flat and in which Spence played the tough aggressive Jo while Cook played the more lighthearted Toots.From 1988 until 1990, Spence became well known for playing spinster Celia Stewart in Home and Away. While working on the show, she attended Monash University earning an arts degree in English. She also made sporadic television appearances during the next several years as a celebrity guest on game shows Cluedo and Sale of the Century as well as making a guest appearance on the television series Law of the Land.She returned to the theatre in the early 1990s recreating the role of Vera Bennett in a British stage play version of Prisoner. She also starred in a theatrical pantomime of Aladdin with fellow Home and Away co-star Greg Benson at the Theatre Royal, in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent during December 1991 and January 1992 [11] as well as a short-lived stage show, Lipstick Dreams, in the United Kingdom.[12]A commentary and exclusive interview with Spence features on volume 14 (episodes 209 – 224) of the ongoing DVD releases or Prisoner: Cell Block H. In February 2009, she was one of several former cast members who attended a barbecue and memorabilia auction in Melbourne, organised by Val Lehman, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series.[13] In November 2009 Spence joined former cast members Gerard Maguire and Val Lehman in the UK for a celebration with fans of the 30th anniversary of Prisoner first airing in Australia. The event took place at The Moor Hall Hotel in Sutton Coldfield.[citation needed]
