She is perhaps best known to international audiences for her 1984 guest role in the television series Prisoner as Sheila Brady. Career Pop Singer Born in the central Victorian city of Bendigo, Hewett began her career at the age of 12 when she sang with The Esquires at the Bendigo YMCA. During the 1960s she toured Australia with a number of groups including the Laurie Allen Revue. She began her recording career in the early 1970s with the release of her debut single "Superstar" and self-titled album Colleen Hewett. Cast in the musical Godspell, at the original Playbox Theatre in Melbourne, she received a gold record for "Day by Day" (1972), her song from the show. These successes led to her being crowned Queen of Pop two years running. She later achieved two further gold records for "Dreaming My Dreams With You" (1980) and her version of "Wind Beneath My Wings" (1983). Hewett became guest vocalist with The Incredible Penguins in 1985 for a cover of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)", a charity project for research on Fairy penguins, which peaked at Number 10 on the Australian Kent Music Report in December. Stage And Theatre Hewett's other musical theatre credits include Pippin, the rock opera Tommy and Return to the Forbidden Planet.
