Sheila Kennelly played the much loved character of Norma Whittaker on Number 96. Shelia is perhaps known best in recent years for her portrayal of Floss McPhee in popular drama Home and Away. In fact Sheila has starred in three of the most popular shows to be seen on Australian TV, the groundbreaking Number 96, immensley popular Home and Away and the top rating mini series Return to Eden. Sheila also played the lovable Rosa in Kingswood Country.
