American actress Chelsea Brown, who moved to Australia in the 1970s and became a familiar figure on TV shows Graham Kennedy's Blankety Blanks, Number 96 and E Street, has died.
Brown died on March 27 in Chicago aged 74 from pneumonia.
The actress and dancer joined the cast of American sketch comedy show Laugh-In in 1968, appearing alongside Goldie Hawn and Ruth Buzzi.
In the mid-1970s she moved to Australia, created a touring cabaret show and married Australian actor Vic Rooney, who also had a role on TV soap E Street in the early 1990s.
One of Brown's most recent performances was in the TV mini-series Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door and her big screen roles included Welcome to Woop Woop and The Thing With Two Heads.
Brown moved back to the city of her birth, Chicago, after Rooney died in 2002.
