One of the few black characters on TV when I was growing up who wasn't a "baddie" or a figure of fun. One half of the first inter racial kiss on TV as well.

The Seekers were one of Australias first successful musical exports. Judith was born in Essendon which is very close to Melbourne. Judith was a great singer and complimented by Athol Guy, Bruce and Keith Potger. "never find another you" and "gregory girl" will always stand out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I assume either your spellcheck is playing up or you are confusing one of The Seekers' hits with a great film - it was Georgy Girl.

slartibartfast Posted Saturday at 23:52 Report Share Posted Saturday at 23:52 That's very sad, one of my first crushes was Judith. The majority of female pop stars were like "stick insects" ,but she was all young woman, if you get my drift ! To be truthful, in the mid sixties it wasn't too cool to like this type of music, but later on I appreciated more. My favourit was the Paul Simon, Bruce Woodley penned song "someday ,one day". RIP Judith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted Monday at 21:52 Report Share Posted Monday at 21:52 Sadly most of us have seen or will see someone we love battle cancer but she fought it for thirty years. Difficult to comprehend the fight she has put up for three decades. Absolute warrior.Rest in peace Olivia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago 34 minutes ago, Super said: Author and illustrator Raymond Briggs, who is best known for the 1978 classic The Snowman, has died aged 88. The film he made about his parents' life, Ethel & Ernest, is a particular fave in the Robbo household. Simple, but strangely touching, and if you're in my generation, it's everyone's grandparents' story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
