derani scarr

When Derani Scarr appeared as 'Woman' in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2017, everyone was wondering where this actress had been since 1967 and You Can't See Around Corners. Obviously I'm being sarcastic and an idiot. I am sure she had a career. She is in the episode of Homicide called 'Witch Hunt', however, (alongside Sheila Florance and David Spurling) playing the ostensibly foxy Helen Hopgood. At one point Bronson asks her why she wasn't at home getting her beauty sleep and she says 'do you think I need it?' and he says something approving. 

They make so much of her, it's surprising that even though this was a recurring role (she was to be in six episodes between 1965-6), she wasn't even more of a regular.

I'm going to come back to this ep of Ryan because it has an amazing North Melbourne car chase, but first I want to honour Margaret Cruic...
