Jane Clifton (born 10 April 1949)[1] is a Gibraltar-born Australian actress, singer, writer and former radio and voice artist.
When her father left the army, the family emigrated from Cardiff to Perth, Australia, in 1961, before settling in Melbourne in 1965.
Beginning in cult favorites Stork (1971) and Pure Shit (1975), her films include The Clinic and A Slice of Life.
She has also made a number of television appearances, starting in the mid 70s with the Crawford's series Division 4, Homicide and Bluey, Against the Wind, Skyways, Holiday Island, Sweet and Sour, Carson's Law and Shock Jock, but her best-known acting role is probably that of tough prison bookie Margo Gaffney in Prisoner.
Clifton also performed with Betty Bobbitt and Colette Mann as part of a three-woman troupe, The Mini Busettes, in the 1980s in RSLs across Australia.
