Biography

June Salter was born in Bexley, New South Wales, the youngest of six children. As a child, she studied piano and elocution and attended Kogarah Central Domestic Science Secondary School. June obtained her New South Wales Intermediate Certificate in 1947 (Sydney Morning Herald 31 January 1948, p5).
While working as a typist-receptionist, she joined the St George Players who played at St James' Hall (later called "Mercury Theatre" then "Phillip Street Theatre") and took further elocution lessons from Rosalind Kennerdale who was married to Lawrence H. Cecil. Largely through their influence, in 1952 she gained acting roles in 2GB's serial Night Beat, continuing her office work part-time until that was no longer possible. With the help of Queenie Ashton, she was accepted onto the books of Central Casting (Ashton's husband John Cover's company). Other jobs followed: Martin's Corner on 2UW, Undercover Carson and Shadows of Doubt on 2GB and Blue Hills for the ABC as Sally, taking over from original actress Barbara Brunton.
