Beloved actress Magda Szubanski shares update from hospital bed amid stage 4 cancer battle

Actress Magda Szubanski recently shared a health update from her hospital bed as she undergoes treatment for stage-four cancer.

The 64-year-old, perhaps best known for her roles in Kath & Kim and the Babe films, posted an Instagram video this past weekend to thank a young fan for raising her spirits by dressing up for Book Week as fictional netball fan Sharon Strzelecki (the character Szubanski played in Kath and Kim.)

Szubanski, seen smiling as she lay in a hospital bed, said in the video: “This is a special shout-out to 10-year-old Annabella in Adelaide. Thank you so much for your impression of Sharon Strzelecki. I’m in here having chemo and it really cheered me up.”

“I’m in here having chemo and it really cheered me up. I’m really touched and that was a beautiful thing to do. Thank you my sweet. Lots of love to you.”
