Talking Prisoner EP 17 Interview with Louise Le Nay (Sandy Edwards)
Welcome to the Seventeenth episode of Talking Prisoner. Hosts Ken Mulholland and Matt Batten sat down with Louise Le Nay who played inmate Sandy Edwards. We spoke to Louise about her childhood growing up, what she was like at school and what it was like to get into the National institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) and learning at NIDA. Louise told us all about what it was like to work with Ross Higgins on Kingswood Country and then to play Barbara Hill on Neighbours when it was on Channel Seven and what it was like when Seven axed Neighbours, and what it was like to work with Anne Haddy and writing the scenes surrounding her death. Louise spoke to us in depth about Prisoner, her audition, working with Wayne Jarratt and Olivia Hamnett and what it was like to shoot the Great Sandy Edwards Riot and why the writers made her Top Dog whilst Bea Smith (Val Lehman) was in hospital and we spoke in great length on why Louise left the show and that the producers wanted her to stay. We also asked Louise about one of the biggest conspiracy theories on Prisoner – What really happened to Sandy Edwards and Louise’s personal thoughts on what happened to Sandy.
