Abigail (actress)

Abigail ( born Abigail Rogan, 23 July 1946, in London, England) is an British Australian television charactor actress who emigrated to Australia in 1968 and became one of that country's significant sex symbols of the mid-1970s. She was educated in France. Her mother (maiden name Joachim) was a Ceylonese (Sri Lankan) of Dutch Burgher/Eurasian ethnicity. Abigail came to Australia when she was given the post to appear as the female lead in There's a Girl in my Soup in Perth.

Known simply as Abigail, she became best known to Australians as a sex symbol, starting with the television soap opera Number 96 in the early 1970s. Despite common belief, she did not appear nude in the series. In fact it was fellow actor Vivienne Garrett who played Rose Godulfus from the same series who was the first to appear topless on Australian Television.
