Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This Australian miniseries invented the 'woman scorned' transformation genre years before 'The First Wives Club'—it was so popular it spawned a sequel series in 1986.
Rebecca Gilling played BOTH the 'before' and 'after' Stephanie—no second actress was used, just heavy prosthetics and even heavier 80s glam makeup.
