A Country Practice and Neighbours Star Joan Sydney Died at Age 83

Marina DanielBy Marina DanielJanuary 6, 20234 Mins Read

The Alzheimer’s disease-stricken English Australian actor passed away in December at his Sydney home. Joan Sydney, who starred in Neighbours and A Country Practice, passed away at 83.

The performer from England and Australia, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, passed away on December 28 at her home in Sydney. Sally-Anne Upton, a fellow actor and her longtime friend, announced the news on social media on Friday.

For her portrayal of the matron Margaret “Maggie” Sloane in A County Practice, a character she portrayed throughout the 1980s, Sydney earned a Logie in 1989 for the most outstanding actress. She started appearing in Neighbours as Valda Sheergold in the early 2000s. She appeared in episodes of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and Mother and Son on Australian television.

Sydney began her acting career after graduating from Manchester’s Oldham Repertory Theatre. She made her feature debut in the 1957 movie When We Are Married at 19. She immigrated to Australia from the UK in 1965, settling in Perth before relocating to Sydney.

She recurred in the A Country Practice role that made her famous in 1993, four years after the Seven Network had canceled the program and the rival network Ten had brought it back.

Upton, who first met Sydney at a fundraiser in the 1990s, paid tribute to her friend on social media, saying: “Thank you for all you have taught me, love, friendship, many memories shared that will be treasured forever.”

Her fellow A Country Practice star, Shane Withington, wrote on Twitter: “This is terrible news. Comedy is never as easy as it looks and this lady made it look effortless. I adored her.”

Maggie King, an actress who frequently costarred with Sydney and was her younger sister, passed away two years ago. Sydney left behind two sons, a daughter, and herself.

After being advised her name, Joan King sounded too similar to “Joking” in Germany, she adopted her middle name, Sydney, as her stage name instead.

“Sydney was a family name which dates back to the 1800s when her merchant seaman forebears visited Sydney and loved it as a harbor and took it as a name,” her son Tony Braxton-Smith said.
