Noni Hazlehurst was pushed through Sydney Airport in a wheelchair on Monday as she jetted into the city.
The Australian actress, 71, was wheeled through the airport by airline staff, after disembarking the plane.
The former Playschool star was dressed casually for the flight in navy pants, and a matching coloured shirt.
She completed her look with a pair of comfortable grey shoes and wore a colourful necklace.
After picking up her luggage and being wheeled to the front of the airport, Noni was helped by staff as she walked out to the arrivals area and waited for a driver.
The sighting comes after Noni revealed just how awkward it can be shooting a sex scene for a film in her new memoir Dropping the Mask.
While she is perhaps best known for her role on Playschool, appearing as a presenter on the show from 1978 to 2001, Noni has also enjoyed a storied film and television acting career.
One of her most beloved big screen roles is in the 1982 film Monkey Grip, in which she stars alongside Colin Friels, 72.

The film, based on a novel by acclaimed Australian author Helen Garner, features some rather racy scenes between the actors and now Noni has revealed just what goes on behind the scenes.
In an exclusive extract, published on news.com.au, Noni revealed that while she and Colin have steamed up the screen in the film, all was not as it seemed.
Noni recalled one steamy scene where Colin had to kiss her ‘up and down my upper body’ and while the end result was ‘ sensuous and tenderly romantic’, the rushes told a different story.

‘Without music to augment the scene, all we could hear, apart from the odd slurping sound, was [director] Ken Cameron’s voice talking us through the action,’ she said.
“Slower Colin, linger there a bit more, don’t eat her, be gentle, do that thing with your fingers in your mouth again Noni, slow down Colin, go up, go down, too rough, go sideways, slower Colin” and so on.”
‘It was very funny.’

She added that all the film’s sex scenes were shot on the same day, adding to the awkwardness although one crew member offered a novel solution.
‘The first assistant offered a closed set and for the crew to be naked as well, but the thought of forty or so waving willies in my eyeline was enough to put me off sex for life,’ she admitted.
The awkwardness didn’t end there either, with Noni detailing how director Ken Cameron instructed her on-screen love interest on how to perform on camera.
Noni’s list of TV credits include Division 4, The Sullivans, The Shiralee, City Homicide and A Place to Call Home.
