This is the best summary I could come up with:


Wilson, who appeared in television shows such as Spicks and Specks and Good News Week, died at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, her management said.

"Cal's generosity, talent and friendship have been constants in the Australian comedy scene for the last 20 years," the statement from Wilson's management read.

"Cal was loved by her family, friends, fans and peers and a huge hole has been torn in the heart of our community."

Hard Quiz host and fellow Skithouse regular Tom Gleeson paid a public tribute to Wilson.

Comedian Adam Hills said the news of his friend's death had "broken me slightly" but said the outpouring of love for Wilson had been heartwarming.

"Her professionalism, work ethic and genuine heart-warming humour instantly made her a favourite amongst cast and crew, as well as the Australian audience."
