Very interesting character

[leemac81]

Great little piece. Awesome camera work! Caputures the passion of an actress who has dedicated so much of her life to the entertainment industry through her amateur theatre productions. Has a very "Australian Story" feel to it. That everyone has a story to tell!

What an amazing woman a worthy winner and she mixes with quality company a former heavy weight of the ALP and a true blue Balmain boy Tommy Uren.
