Margaret Laurence is an Australian actress, best known for several soap opera roles.

Her first high-profile role was in Number 96 as the Liz Chalmers for six months spanning late 1975 to early 1976. Sweet Liz married key character Arnold Feather but was ultimately revealed as a decietful schemer who tried to poison Arnold.

She followed this by playing Marilyn Mason in the television series Prisoner. Laurence was one of the programme's original cast in 1979, but appeared in only the first 16 episodes - the original planned duration of the series.

Her husband is American-born actor Brandon Smith who had short-term roles in both Number 96 and Prisoner, in the case of Prisoner appearing in some scenes with Laurence.
