About June Salter

June Marie Salter was an Australian actress and author prominent in theatre and television. She is best known for her character roles, in particular as schoolteacher Elizabeth McKenzie in the soap opera The Restless Years and for her regular guest appearances in A Country Practice as Matron Hilda Arrowsmith. Salter attended Kogarah Central Domestic Science Secondary School, where her first stage role was playing Queen Elizabeth in their production of The Tudor Wench. After years of amateur productions, including St George United Artists' Rookery Nook at St James' Hall, Salter was invited to take part in Bill Orr's 1953 production of Hit and Run (the first Phillip Street Revue). Salter then starred in the short-lived Catwalk, a series created specially for her.
