Antonia Prebble is a mainstay of New Zealand’s evening TV viewing. 

She had just hit her 20’s when she was cast in 'Outrageous Fortune', becoming a household name. 

They’re now celebrating the 20th anniversary of the iconic comedy-drama show, plus the 10th anniversary of the prequel series 'Westside'. 

Prebble has expanded since then, and while she still partakes in international productions, she also runs a successful podcast ‘What Matters Most’, which is now on its 4th season. 

She told Heather du Plessis-Allan it’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since 'Outrageous Fortune'. 

“I just turned 41, so I started Outrageous when I was twenty and a half – literally half my life ago.”
