Much-loved Australian comic Magda Szubanski will be awarded one of TV’s greatest honours on Sunday when she is inducted into the TV Week Logies Hall of Fame.
Szubanski, 64, got her big TV break in the 1980s ABC series The D-Generation before climbing to even greater fame as one of the stars of classic sketch comedy series Fast Forward, in which she parodied everyone from politicians to TV personalities, from 1989 to 1992.
It was there she met and clicked with castmates Jane Turner and Gina Riley, and the three later created Seven comedy programs Big Girl’s Blouse and Something Stupid. The latter featured the characters of Kath, Kim and Sharon — who would later become the stars of arguably Australia’s greatest ever comedy series, Kath and Kim, which ran for four seasons from 2002 to 2007.
Szubanski has also hosted TV programs on channels Nine and Ten, and starred in films Babe, Happy Feet and The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course. Logies organisers paid tribute to her as a “comedic force and cultural icon”. She also won three Logies in the 1990s.
They also recognised her cultural impact beyond the screen, paying tribute to her advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Szubanski is just the fifth female inductee into the Hall of Fame, which was created in 1984, with her award to be part of Sunday’s ceremony, to be broadcast on Seven and 7plus from 7pm.
Szubanski in May announced she had been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive stage four blood cancer, called mantle cell lymphoma. Last month the now-bald star said she was dealing with the treatment by getting into Lego.
Other Logies Hall of Fame inductees in recent years include Rebecca Gibney, Bruce McAvaney, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Noni Hazlehurst, Home and Away and TV executive Brian Walsh.
