Smithers most recently featured in the Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015.

Her Mad Max appearance came over three decades after she was offered the role of Max's wife Jessie in the 1979 original at the age of 15.

She was forced to decline after her parents would not let her travel to Adelaide for production.
