Biography
Claire Chitham rose to prominence playing Waverley Harrison (née Wilson) in the long-running New Zealand soap Shortland Street, appearing across two stints: 1994 to 1995 and 1997 to 2005. Born on 12 July 1978 in Auckland, she later took on the role of Aurora Bay in Outrageous Fortune from 2006 to 2007. A Cancer, Chitham's life-path 8 reflects the sustained drive and resilience required to anchor a television soap across multiple decades. As a New Zealand actress, she has built her career primarily in local television, where she remains recognised for her extended tenure on one of the country's most-watched dramas. Her dual runs on Shortland Street—interrupted by a two-year hiatus—demonstrate both her value to the show's narrative and her ability to sustain character work over time.
