Bio

Virginia Gay is an Australian actress best known for her television roles as Gabrielle Jaeger in All Saints (2006-2009) and as Frances James in Winners & Losers, since 2011.

Virginia, 29, grew up in Sydney's inner west and spent a good part of her time in England.

After graduating from Newtown High School of the Performing Arts, she went on to study English literature and performance studies at Sydney University. When she decided to make acting her full-time pursuit, she enrolled at Perth's esteemed Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA).

While at WAAPA, Virginia auditioned unsuccessfully for the role of Ricky on All Saints. However, she impressed producers to such an extent she was called back to audition as Nursing Unit Manager Gabrielle Jaeger in 2006.

During her three-and-a-half years in the role, she managed to find time to take part in Seven's It Takes Two in 2008. She was a huge hit with audiences and placed third with partner Ian Moss.

After All Saints wrapped, Virginia trod the boards in a string of productions including Gentlemen Prefer Blokes, for which she won a DIVA Award.

She performed Dirty Pretty Songs at the 2011 Melbourne International Arts Festival in the famous Speigletent. The latter is her own creation where she takes pretty songs and sings them dirty, and dirty songs and sings them pretty.

She spent six months touring with the Sydney Theatre Company's Wharf Revue in the production Pennies from Kevin. In the hit show, she polished her impression of Julia Gillard and bounded about in a fat suit as Amanda Vanstone.

In her spare time, she enjoys seeing theatre and live music and has started learning the ukulele.
