Rachael Blake has got to be one of our best and most beautiful actors. Chatting to the 51-year-old from her home on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, she’s celebrating the success of her new six-episode psychological thriller, Significant Others. In it she plays Ursula, the elder sibling in a family that’s been blown apart over a bad will. When one of the siblings, Sarah (Jacqueline McKenzie), goes missing, the family reunites and all their deepest, darkest secrets and struggles are exposed. Here, Blake spills on the show and reveals what she loves to do when she’s not on set.
