Maggie Kirkpatrick is an Australian TV actress whose career has encompassed roles across film, TV and an extensive time in theatre. Maggie's most known TV role is as Prison Guard Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson on legendary Aussie TV Drama Prisoner (1979). Other roles include a stint on Aussie Soap Home and Away (1988) as Viv 'The Guv' Standish, the movie Welcome to Woop Woop (1997), The Pirate Movie (1982), Voyage Into Fear (1993) and many more roles.

Maggie has also enjoyed a long extensive career in Australian theatre and even after Prisoner ended she joined the cast in a British tour in 1996 and 1997. Maggie has also had a role in Wicked as Madame Morrible.

In 2015 Maggie spent the year fighting a year long legal battle to prove her innocence after being charged with a historic offense. In the end Maggie was found innocent and slammed media coverage of the case, as media would show clips from Prisoner, calling it 'bad journalism' and saying that the media couldn't separate fiction from reality and revealed in 2017 that she was diagnosed with PTSD as a result of the legal battle.

Maggie in 2017 returned to the TV screen after a 9 year hiatus in the Australian Comedy mini-series The Letdown (2017), Australian Drama series Sando (2018) and as the voice of Doris in The Bureau of Magical Things (2018).
