In 1970, she starred in the short portmanteau film "3 to Go". During this time she also moved to more provocative (for its time) television, especially in the sex series of "Alvin Purple", and then under the direction of Tim Burstall as Sybil the babysitter in "Libido: The Child" (one of four parts of a portmanteau film that showed various aspects of human sexuality). In this part Morris awakens the sexuality of the boy that she is babysitting. For her part, Morris won the 1973 Australian Film Industry (AFI) Best Actress in a Lead Role. Morris then played the part of "Sam" in the 1978 movie "In Search of Anna", before receiving top billing as the wife "Jill Cowper" in the 1979 black comedy "The Plumber", which began its life as a small 6 week television series directed by Peter Weir but following its success was produced as a DVD titled "The Mad Plumber".
