She played a regular role in immensely popular Australian situation comedy series My Name's McGooley, What's Yours? and was a regular on sketch comedy program The Naked Vicar Show and Graham Kennedy's Blankety Blanks.

[edit] Personal life
In 1976, Brown married one of the writer/producers of the Naked Vicar Show, Tony Sattler. The couple were close friends of the late Graham Kennedy - Noeline was present when Kennedy died in 2005.
Noeline has twice stood for election to the Australian Federal Parliament, as a candidate for the Australian Labor Party, of which she has been a long term member. While Noeline has not yet won the notoriously conservative parliamentary seat in which she has been a long term resident, she remains hopeful of one day representing her district and its people, and the Labor Party, in the commonwealth parliament.
