Biography

Helen Moulder was born in Brightwater, Nelson, New Zealand in 1947. However she began her professional career in the UK in 1974, singing in musicals and pantomime and spending a year with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. In 1977 she returned to New Zealand where she has worked for several decades as an actor in theatre, television, film, and radio.[1] In 2000 she won Actress of the Year[2] in the Chapman Tripp Theatre Awards for her role as Vivian Bearing in the Circa Theatre production of Wit and did the same in 2003[3] for Sylvia in Meeting Karpovsky, a play she produced with Sir Jon Trimmer.

Recent theatre roles she has undertaken in New Zealand include the comic character of Cynthia Fortitude, which she developed along with Rose Beauchamp, who plays her long-suffering sidekick Gertie, as part of their contributions to Hen's Teeth performances over several decades.[4] Feature-length performances involving these characters include A Vote for Cynthia and The Legend Returns. She has also played Madam Giry in Ken Hill's Phantom of the Opera in Japan, and Virginia Woolf in Vita and Virginia.
