Marieke Josephine Hardy (born 26 May 1976) is an Australian writer, broadcaster, television producer and former television actress.
Hardy is the granddaughter of Frank Hardy, author of Power Without Glory, and the grandniece of comedian and TV presenter Mary Hardy. Her parents Alan and Galia Hardy were writers, producers and editors on several Australian television series including The Sullivans and All the Rivers Run.
Hardy was educated at Carey Baptist Grammar School and Swinburne Senior Secondary College in Melbourne.
Hardy co-hosted Melbourne's 3RRR radio show Best of the Brat on Tuesday nights from April 1996 to December 2007, under the pseudonym Holly C. The show was known as "the most immature show on Australian radio". Almost immediately following her departure from RRR, in January 2008 she began co-hosting the breakfast show on Triple J, the ABC's youth radio station, with Robbie Buck and Lindsay "The Doctor" McDougall. In December 2009, Hardy announced she was leaving Triple J to concentrate on her writing career.
Working in the entertainment industry from a young age as an actress, Hardy appeared in such television programs as The Henderson Kids II, All Together Now, Neighbours, A Country Practice and various television commercials before pursuing a career as a scriptwriter.
In 2005, Hardy created, wrote and produced a 22-episode drama series for the Seven Network called Last Man Standing. The series struggled to gain ratings for its prime-time slot and was cancelled after one series.
