Lisa McCune (born 19 February 1971)
Early career (1986–1993)
Born in Sydney, McCune grew up in Perth. She first performed on stage at the age of 15 playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz and graduating from Greenwood Senior High School, she was accepted into both the classical singing and musical theatre courses at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). She graduated with a BA in Music Theatre in 1990. Upon graduation, McCune secured an agent, Robyn Gardiner Management (RGM Associates), and took on various jobs in Sydney and Melbourne. In February 1991, she won a twelve month contract with Coles Supermarkets for a series of print and TV advertisements in which she played Lisa, the girl next door checkout chick. McCune performed in a statewide tour of Victorian high schools in the educational John Romeril play about work experience, called Working Out, was in the chorus for a Sydney musical version of Great Expectations starring Philip Gould, and starred as the aspiring ballerina postulant, Sister Mary Leo, in the sequel to the Dan Goggin musical Nunsense. She had a brief appearance in a re enactment about a possible UFO sighting in Bass Strait for the American series Unsolved Mysteries and a role in the 1993 satirical horror movie Body Melt in which her heavily pregnant character was attacked by a ferocious placenta before dying from an exploding stomach. McCune also sang in a couple of bands, including George Kapiniaris' Flares and Choice. In 1991, she filmed a pilot for a Steve Vizard/Artist Services comedy called Turn it Up (aka Radio Waves). In 1993, McCune won the lead part of Allie Carter in the pilot of Newlyweds before being replaced by Annie Jones for the series. Blue Heelers (1993–2000)
McCune shot to fame in September 1993 at age 22 when she debuted as Constable Maggie Doyle in Blue Heelers, playing the role until the seventh season. During this time she won the Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Television Personality four times. Throughout her Blue Heelers run, she occasionally took time off to appear in other productions. In 1996 McCune appeared opposite Brett Climo who played her brother in Blue Heelers, in a friend's film The Inner Sanctuary. In early 1997 she played the role of Anne in the Melbourne Theatre Company's (MTC) production of Sondheim's A Little Night Music. In 1998, McCune played Cinderella in another Sondheim musical, Into the Woods. She also did two short seasons of the classic two hander Love Letters. In early 1999 she took six weeks off Blue Heelers to play one of the leads, Mary Abacus, in the miniseries adaptation of Bryce Courtenay's The Potato Factory, which earned her a nomination for an AFI award for Best Actress in a TV Drama. In July 1999, a couple of months before finishing on Blue Heelers, she starred alongside John Wood in She Loves Me. Later career (2000–present)
Immediately after finishing Blue Heelers, she starred alongside John Waters, Bert Newton, Nikki Webster, Rachel Marley and later Rob Guest in a stage version of The Sound of Music, as Maria von Trapp. In 2001, while she was pregnant with her first child, her portrait by Shaun Clark was entered in the Archibald Prize. She was off screens for a year to be a stay at home mother. In 2002, her next project was a "comeback" role in the television series Marshall Law with Alison Whyte and former Blue Heelers cast member William McInnes. Although it rated well in the first week, the series was critically panned and its subsequent low ratings ensured it was cancelled after one season. In 2004, after another year off due to the birth to her second child, McCune slowly began to return to television. She again was the advertising face of Coles Supermarkets. In September 2005, McCune guest starred in a four episode storyline on MDA Hope Cladwell in Urinetown, and Olive Ostrovsky in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. In 2012/13, she performed opposite Teddy Tahu Rhodes in Opera Australia's production of the Bartlett Sher 2008 New York revival of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific at the Sydney Opera House, the Princess Theatre, Melbourne, and the Brisbane Queensland Performing Arts Centre. From 2007 until 2011, McCune was in the ensemble cast for the Nine Network drama series, Sea Patrol. Her character is the executive officer (second in command) Lieutenant Kate McGregor, of HMAS Hammersley, a fictional Royal Australian Navy patrol boat. There were five seasons of the show, and it was cancelled due to financial issues resulting from the scheduled loss of pertinent government tax credits. On 5 April 2008, she began her role of Sarah Brown in the major stage production Guys and Dolls, playing for 20 weeks at the Princess Theatre in Melbourne before being revived for a Sydney season at the Capitol Theatre on 12 March 2009. In 2010, she appeared as Jean in the MTC production of Sarah Ruhl's Dead Man's Cell Phone. McCune also appeared as the celebrity guest in the reasonably priced ute/car in season 3, episode 1 of Top Gear Australia in August. She appeared alongside Richard Roxburgh in season 1, episode 2 of the television series Rake, which aired in November. McCune starred Dr. Sam Stewart in Reef Doctors, an Australian television drama series that ran 9 June 2013 to 7 September 2013. In 2014, she starred as Anna Leonowens in Opera Australia's production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I, playing opposite Teddy Tahu Rhodes in Brisbane and Sydney, and Lou Diamond Phillips in Melbourne. In 2015, McCune recorded "The Unbearable Price of War", a duet with Lee Kernaghan for his album Spirit of the Anzacs. Later that year, she joined David Hobson, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, and Greta Bradman for a concert tour, From Broadway to La Scala, of the five Australian mainland state capitals.

«Көк тұяқтылар» сериалын аяқтағаннан кейін ол Джон Уотерс, Берт Ньютон, Никки Вебстер, Рейчел Марли және кейін Роб Гейстпен бірге «Музыканың дыбысы» сахналық нұсқасында Мария фон Трапп рөлін ойнады. 2001 жылы ол бірінші баласына жүкті болған кезде, оның суреті Шон Кларк еңбегі Арчибальд сыйлығына ұсынылды. Ол бір жыл бойы экраннан тыс, үй шаруашылығымен айналысты. 2002 жылы оның келесі жобасы – «Маршалл заңы» телесериалында Элисон Уайт және бұрынғы «Көк тұяқтылар» актерлік құрамының мүшесі Уильям МакИннеспен «қайта оралу» рөлі болды. Бірінші аптада жоғары рейтинг алғанымен, сериал сынға ұшырады және оның төмен рейтингісінен кейін бір маусымнан кейін жабылды. 2004 жылы екінші баласының тууына байланысты тағы бір жыл демалыс алғаннан кейін МакКун теледидарға баяу орала бастады. Ол тағы да «Коулс» супермаркеттерінің жарнамалық беті болды. 2005 жылдың қыркүйегінде МакКун төрт эпизодты сюжеттік желіде ойнады. 2012/13 жылдары ол Тедди Тауа Родспен бірге Австралия операсының Бартлетт Шердің 2008 жылғы Нью-Йорктегі Роджерс және Хаммерштейннің «Оңтүстік Тынық мұхиты» мюзиклінің қайта жаңғыруында Сидней опера үйінде, Мельбурндағы Принцесса театрында және Брисбендегі Квинсленд сахналық өнер орталығында өнер көрсетті. 2007 жылдан 2011 жылға дейін МакКун Nine Network драмалық сериалы «Теңіз патрулі» актерлік құрамында болды. Оның кейіпкері – HMAS Hammersley, Австралия Корольдік Әскери-теңіз флотының қисынды қарауыл қайығының атқарушы офицері (көпшілік басқарудағы екінші) лейтенант Кейт Макгрегор. Шоудың бес маусымы болды, және ол тиісті мемлекеттік салықтық несиелердің жоспарланған жоғалуынан туындаған қаржылық мәселелерге байланысты тоқтатылды. 2008 жылдың 5 сәуірінде ол Сар...
