SONJA TALLIS

Sonja Tallis (born 24 September 1943) teamed up with Sean Cullip in 1964 to form folk duo, Sean and Sonja. Their good looks, talent and great harmonisation brought them to favourable notices. In 1965 they were signed to CBS and produced three very successful LPs until Sean was conscripted to serve in Vietnam in 1966.

In the 70s Tallis moved into acting with small parts in The Young Doctors and Sons and Daughters, before going onto her best-known role, as top dog Nora Flynn in Prisoner. She played Nora for six months in 1985. She went on to a regular role in the short-lived Crawford's series Prime Time in 1986 and has also appeared in Home and Away and McLeod's Daughters. Sonja Tallis now teaches drama, both privately and in a number of drama schools in Sydney.
