I’m feeling shattered at these news of deaths from two Australian female singers I loved and grew up with. As most of us did.
I recall how a 16 year old Olivia went overseas with Pat Carroll I think it was. When I saw Olivia for the first time in the newspaper about this trip… I thought how beautiful she was! I recall when she was in the USA doing songs and movies… how they likened her clean image with Doris Day and Olivia said she was honoured and flattered to be compared to Doris.
RIP Olivia…. We will all miss you xx
Those were the days, Lols.
That was the Libby we all remember, before the sharks and hustlers got to her. With the right direction, she could have had a career like Patti Newton - appearing regularly on This Is Your Life (she knew
everybody), the odd advert for denture powder and a double page family spread each month in the Women's Weekly.
Now, that's tasteful. No aerobics videos, no awful Las Vegas shows and
no appearances on Hey Hey It's Saturday.
I'm not racist, dear, but Libby was a real lady before the Jews got their hands all over her.
I'm sorry, but it's true.
Yes America stole our girl… but they loved her… Koala Blue store n all.
She was their new Doris Day… to which Olivia said she was flattered and honoured to be compared with Doris.
I just say… that “physical” song vid was a bit of a “wow …wha…?” Then I found out certain US states banned it… geez…. Haven’t we come a long way since then!
I was thinking about others that have departed in this last 12 months
..Doug Parkinson, Bert, Sidney Poitier, Carla Zampatti, Archie, Judith and Warnie.
There’s more I know but I’m starting to feel a part of my entertained life has just gone out the stage exit, as most of us in the audience here are feeling.
Reflections of the way life used to be….
