Former Channel Seven Melbourne presenter and newsreader Dan Webb has died aged 92. He was the first host of Good Friday Appeal telecast on Seven.

Entertainer Chelsea Brown, best known for Laugh-In and variety performances across Australia, has died, aged 69.
I remember her from Celebrity Squares and The Young Doctors.
@JBar I don’t think she appeared on The Young Doctors.
I remember her from appearances on Blankety Blanks and later E Street.
I could be wrong since I don’t see her credit on IMDB but then again that website is not complete.
I’m thinking she played a performer at the nightclub Bunny’s which was owned by Bunny Howard played by Ugly Dave Gray.
@Salty Here’s the opener of an episode of Celebrity Squares which she appeared in.
I’m freaking out at who actually appeared in this episode with her. Bert Newton, Patti Newton, Ugly Dave Gray, Stuart Wagstaff, Bob Rogers, Laugh-In guy Artie Johnson (before my time), Alfred Marks (who?) and OMG they had ABBA in a square. 
she played a nightclub performer at Duddle’s Disco in Number 96
Typecast? 
Maybe that’s what I’m thinking of but that show was before my time so maybe I’m only remembering snippets I’ve seen and read about.
I don’t think she was in The Young Doctors. That started late in 1976 and I think she was in Number 96 at around the same time before that show wound up in mid-1977.
I think The Young Doctors used to have Sydney band The Executives (who performed the theme song) as the regulars at Bunny’s Disco.
