Glenda Linscott

As 'Rita the Beater' in the final years of the iconic Australian television drama Prisoner, Glenda Linscott scared the living suitcase out of a generation of viewers. Glenda joins us to share her amazing story, which has taken her from from Zimbabwe to Wentworth to today living in regional South Australia. The acting bug bit at an early age and a life on the stage and screen was always the goal. 40 years on, the fascination surrounding Rita has grown and hardly a day goes by when Glenda doesn't have a 'Rita' moment. Glenda has had an equally interesting culinary journey and here she explains how her relationship with the kitchen has evolved over the years. The weekly Food Poll goes right to the comfort food zone as we ask you to choose between tuna mornay and nachos. Glenda will be appearing at the Prisoner event on Sunday October 18th celebrating 40 years of Episode 692.
