Virginia Hey

Virginia Hey (born 19 June 1952) is an Australian actress, known for her role as Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan in the science fiction television series Farscape, playing the "Warrior Woman" in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, and various roles in television drama series, such as lawyer Jennifer St James in E Street.

In 1979, Hey appeared in live TV performances with The Buggles for their song "Video Killed the Radio Star", including on the BBC's Top of the Pops and on German television.

She is well known for the role of the blue-skinned alien priestess Zotoh Zhaan in Farscape, for which she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress on Television by the Saturn Awards.

[citation needed] She left the show early in the third season for health and personal reasons: the prosthetic makeup worn over her head and chest to achieve Zhaan's appearance and the stress of the long filming days caused her kidneys to bleed, subsequently causing a decline in her health, and she grew tired of having to shave her head and eyebrows for the role.
