Early life

Lockwood was born 'Joanna Walker' on 4 June 1950, in Hammersmith in London. She is the daughter of British-born Australian actor and comedian Johnny Lockwood. [1]

Her first foray into the entertainment industry was in 1960, at the age of 10, appearing opposite her father in a pantomime. They then formed a singing/dancing double act, touring clubs, but her father was concerned about the risks show business posed, and sent her off to business college. She was eventually drawn back however, and formed her own nightclub act, supporting performers such as Harry Secombe and Reg Varney. [2]

Career

Lockwood had roles in Crawford Productions series Homicide , Matlock Police and Division 4 . She completed a brief stint in the closing episodes of soap opera Number 96 in 1977 (which had previously starred her father until 1975). She then played the ongoing lead role of police officer's wife and former stripper Valerie Johnson in police drama series Cop Shop , which began on-air in late 1977. She left the show after three-and-a-half years because the commute between Sydney and Melbourne took its toll.

After leaving Cop Shop , Lockwood played Diane Kennedy in the 1988 film To Make a Killing , and had short-term ongoing roles in soap opera Sons and Daughters in the mid-1980s, E Street in 1989, A Country Practice in 1993 and Home and Away in 1996. [1]

Personal life

Lockwood had a daughter Hayley with her first husband Phillip Addison, in Manly, Sydney. [3]

In 2001 she married her second husband, businessman Terry Walker, and moved to the Coffs Harbour region. She is retired from acting and is a grandmother of three. [4]
