Magda’s career spans nearly 40 years, but she became a household name following her iconic role as the netball-loving Sharon Strzelecki in Kath & Kim.
The Australian series aired from 2002 to 2005, and some of its most hilarious lines are quoted to this day! Including Sharon’s line, “That is so below the belt Kim, and you know how sensitive I am there.”
Aside from this role, Magda has stolen the show in Babe, Happy Feet, and The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course.
In the 80s, she starred in The D-Generation, Fast Forward, Full Front and Big Girl’s Blouse.

But Magda has stolen hearts both on and off screen. Her best-selling memoir titled, Reckoning: A Memoir by Magda Szubanski released in 2013 and earned her literary acclaim and awards.
She is also a strong LGBTQIA+ advocate, particularly during the Marriage Equality campaign.
Most recently, the 64-year-old revealed she’d been diagnosed with Stage 4 Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a “rare and fast-moving blood cancer.”
“I won’t sugar-coat it: it’s rough. But I’m hopeful. I’m being lovingly cared for by friends and family, my medical team is brilliant, and I’ve never felt more held by the people around me,” she revealed in an Instagram caption shared in May 2025.

“I’ll be lying very low while my immune system takes a hammering, so if you see me out and about, don’t hug me, kiss me, or breathe anywhere near me! Wave enthusiastically from a safe distance and know I love you madly.”
Given her diagnosis, it is unclear whether or not Magda Subzanski will make an appearance at the 2025 Logie Awards to accept the Hall of Fame induction.
