Frances Walsh (Co-screenwriter) has collaborated on two other Peter Jackson pictures, "Dead Alive" and "Meet the Feebles," in addition to the current "Heavenly Creatures," Walsh's screenwriting credits include several episodes of the New Zealand television series, "Worzel Gummidge Down Under," as well as the New Zealand period television drama, "A Woman of Good Character." She is currently writing "Braindead, The Musical," a splatter fest for the stage, and a new feature film script for Miramax Films. Born in Wellington, Walsh's interest in writing dates back to her years at primary school where she was a prolific writer. Walsh's extracurricular activities included watching a lot of 1960's television -- the independent character played by Diana Rigg on "The Avengers" [the leather jumpsuit-clad Mrs Emma Peel] became her childhood hero. During the time Walsh was a university student, she explored her musical talents by playing bass in two Wellington-based bands, "Naked Spots Dance" and the "Wallsockets".
