Biography

Lois June Ramsey (18 June 1922 - 27 January, 2016) was an Australian actress, best known for her regular roles on television series The Box and Prisoner. She often played quirky, eccentric old ladies on television soap operas. Ramsey, along with other creatives, set up the Flinders Street Revue Company in 1961 to present satirical revues, which became a fixture at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. In 1962 Ramsey adapted the novel The Cousin From Fiji by Norman Lindsay into a musical that played at Adelaide's Union Theatre to sold-out crowds. Later in life, Ramsey starred in numerous productions by the Sydney Theatre Company and Melbourne Theatre Company. Ramsey married Cuthbert Ward Ramsey on 25 September 1943. They had two children: writer/director Stephen Ramsey and the late actress Penny Ramsey.
