Lisa McCune

Lisa McCune (b. February 19, 1971) is an Australian actress well-known for her television roles.

McCune shot to fame in January 1994 when, at just 22 she was cast as Constable Maggie Doyle in Blue Heelers. She played the role until the seventh season, during which time she won the Gold Logie Award For Most Popular Television Personality four times. When her character was killed in 2000, the "Who Shot Maggie Doyle?" story arc was the most watched in the series history, and to date her leaving the show is attributed as one of the major factors in the ratings slump that followed.

McCune followed up her television stint playing Mary Abacus in a telemovie adaptation of Bryce Courtenay's The Potato Factory (2000). Her next project, a "comeback" role in 2002, was the television series Marshall Law with Alison Whyte and former Blue Heelers cast member William McInnes. The series was critically panned, and ratings dropped significantly to ensure that it was cancelled after one season.

In 2004, McCune slowly began to return to television – first becoming the advertising face of Coles supermarkets, then hosting Seven Network shows such as The World Around Us and Forensic Investigators.

2005 has seen her in the acclaimed ABC telemovie Hell Has Harbour Views with Matt Day; and will be seen later this year in a miniseries version of MDA.
