  Margo McLennan | Obituaries | Guardian Unlimited
As Margo McLennan, she established herself as a powerful character actor, and, from 1979, was among the original stars of the long-running Australian television soap, Prisoner: Cell Block H. Finally, calling herself Margo Lady McLennan, she emerged in the 1990s as the first woman in the world to work as a celebrant of gay marriages.
Her professional debut, as Margo McMenemy, a 15-year-old cabaret dancer at London's Dorchester Hotel in 1953, was seen by the impresario Tom Arnold, who cast her as Fairy Stardust in Humpty Dumpty On Ice, starring Anne Rogers and Gloria Nord, at the Empire Pool, Wembley, that Christmas.
The peak of McLennan's professional fame came at 41, when she was cast as Catherine Roberts, one of the original inmates of Wentworth detention centre, in Prisoner: Cell Block H, which was to run for seven years and gain a worldwide cult following.
