Tall and lovely Virginia Hey was one of the original Farscape line-up. She has lived in both the UK and Australia and originally studied art, but worked as a successful fashion model for some time after being discovered at a bus stop.

Her first big part was playing a warrior woman in post-apocalyptic road madness classic Mad Max II. She’s also been a Bond girl, playing Rubavitch in The Living Daylights. More down to earth TV roles included recurring parts in Neighbours and Prisoner Cell Block H.

The role of Zhaan interested her from the start, as she has strong personal interests in eastern-style spirituality and natural medicine. What the producers neglected to mention to her at initial auditions though, was that her character would be blue all over, and bald.

A desire to re-grow hair and eyebrows was behind her decision to leave the show. Since then she’s been very active on the convention circuit.
