Born in Adelaide, Elizabeth has two sisters and now lives in Sydney with her family. She married actor George Spartels, who is probably best known as 'George from Playschool', and they have two daughters. Elizabeth got her first big TV break in 1973, while still attending NIDA (National Institute for Dramatic Arts), when she was offered the part of Esther Woolcot in the ABC series Seven Little Australians. In fact, the producers had all but given up on going ahead with the series until they came across Elizabeth. This role won her a Logie for Best New Talent.
