Biography

Susanne Haworth made her acting debut in the 1964 television film ''A Season in Hell''. She followed this with minor roles in a second television film, ''Rape of the Belt'' (1964), and a leading role in the musical comedy film ''Funny Things Happen Down Under'' (1965). From 1965–67, Haworth was a regular cast member in the children's adventure series ''Adventures of the Seaspray'' as Susan Wells. Haworth also made appearances on children's television series ''The Magic Boomerang'' and the crime drama ''Homicide'' during the mid-to late 1960s.

After the ''Adventures of the Seaspray'' ended, Haworth took a break from acting. She returned briefly in 1976 with guest appearances on the TV series of ''Alvin Purple'' and a one-season comedy series, ''Who Do You Think You Are?'' followed by a stint in ''Cop Shop'' in 1978. In 1980, she was cast in the cult soap opera ''Prisoner Cell Block H''. She was initially introduced as a neighbour of '' Meg Jackson'' (Elspeth Ballantyne), the frustrated and overworked housewife '' Gail Summers'', who is later sent to prison for child abuse. Following this, she made appearances on ''Holiday Island'', '' Sons and Daughters'', ''Taurus Rising'' and ''A Country Practice'' during the next two years.

In 1985, she was hired to design promos and recaps for the television miniseries ''A Fortunate Life''.

In 1990, Haworth was the casting director and production assistant for the television film '' Jackaroo''. She was also an assistant producer on the television series ''Phoenix'', ''Secrets'' and ''Janus'' between 1992–95 and co-producer with Bill Hughes on the television film ''Fable'' in 1997.
