Share your memories of Wendy Hughes…

We pause from our upbeat Sunday today, to give thanks for Wendy Hughes who died yesterday aged 61.  Well known by everyone in our over 60 community, Wendy will be remembered for her role as Kate Ferrari on Channel Ten’s long running TV series, State Coroner.  She blazed a trail through the vibrant Australian film industry of the seventies with grace and beauty… and she even travelled aboard the Starship Enterprise once in 1993.

Wendy was awarded the Australian Film Institute (AFI) award for best actress in 1983 for her role in Careful, He Might Hear You.

Hughes also played Mrs Higgins in the Sydney Theatre Company’s 2012 production of Pygmalion.  She will also be warmly remembered for films My Brilliant Career and Return To Eden.

Esteemed Australian Actor, Brian Brown announced her death to his audience of Travelling North at Sydney Theatre Company on Saturday afternoon.  The audience in front of him gave a standing ovation to her.
