The Starter Wife : Who plays the Russian nanny?

does anybody know what actress plays the russian nanny?

I'm pretty sure it's Leeanna Walsman - an Australian actress. I was getting distracted by all the Aussie actors making cameos in the first episode!! When I went to look at the credits they had been condensed down to tiny writing to accomodate advertising - very annoying! I guess it's because I come from down under - it's the same when I watch American movies filmed here in NZ and all the supporting actors are from Shortland Street, distracting for us, but probably not noticable to the rest of the world.

Thsi is on now and I want to know the same thing but I don't think it is Leeanna Walsmann

I recognise the face and it is bugging me big time

Do you mean Cricket's nanny? Then yes, thats Leeanna Walsman


Purple monkeys are flying There I said it, I feel better for it

Yep it is Leanna Walsmann alright just like the others said, they're using so many aussie actors because its filmed in Australia. Mirando Otto is also Aussie. I know there's more but she stands out because she was in LOTR.

OMG I had no idea that Judy Davis is also Aussie. Reading another post about her slipping out of American accent, I never noticed and I've seen her in so many other things like "The Break Up" that I just never noticed.
