Judy began a professional career as a model before becoming an actress. She was elevated to star status with her ongoing role as Tania Livingston in the smash hit 1970s TV hospital soap "The Young Doctors". Judy remained with the show until its end in 1982, the character of Tania maturing from a fresh-faced nurse to an experienced sister at the Albert Memorial hospital and remaining a firm favourite with fans. She then moved onto another cult TV success, "Prisoner", in which she demonstrated her comedic talent with her performance as dreamy serial bigamist "Pixie" Mason. After leaving "Prisoner", Judy took an extended vacation to Greece and then continued her career as a voice-over artist. Judy lives in Sydney and has now more or less retired from acting, spending most of her time pursuing her keen interest in animal welfare and conservation.McBurney passed away at the age of 70 after a 4 year battle with cancer.
