Fascinating facts you probably didn't know about me

* I once played Terry Serio's mother in a musical.

* I was once invited to have dinner in a flat at the top of the "Number 96" building in Woollahra. (ie. Vera's flat.) On the way out, I couldn't help myself; I mimed racing down the stairs, pretending to pound on the doors of all the other flats to warn, "Bomb in the building! Everybody out! Bomb in the building! Everybody out!"

* the Arncliffe house where I grew up, for my first thirteen years, used to be the family home of stage comedienne Sadie Gale, wife of the infamous Roy "Mo" Rene.

* my paternal grandmother and I once met a real live dragon - and no one else in the family believed us.

* I was once a catwalk model in a 1987 charity fundraiser for the annual "Queen of Bankstown Quest". The first thing people ask if I mention it is, "So, did you win?"

The next time you run into a dragon, you'll post photos here because you always carry a camera now, right?
