Hello Everyone
This week's program revisits the life and work of a woman who defied all the stereotypes. Diane Cilento grew up in Brisbane and became 'the most envied woman in the world' as the wife of the original James Bond, Sean Connery.
She was an acclaimed Oscar nominated actor in her own right and co-starred alongside a number of legendary leading men. She turned her back on all that and in the end her most enduring love was a theatre she created in the middle of the North Queensland rainforest.
Brisbane based producer Caitlin Shea and editor Roger Carter reveal in this updated edition, that the drama and the passions that characterised her life continued to the last.
I asked Caitlin why she decided to this update and she told me that the idea had come from someone tweeting Caroline Jones that the memorial was happening. Caroline passed it on and voila another episode of Austory is in the can!
Speaking of twitter, you may want to jump into the #australianstory stream to chat with Giovanna Volpe, Diane Cilento's daughter, who will be tweeting after the program goes to air on Monday night.
'Dreams From My Mother' is introduced by Gyton Grantley and features Jason Connery. I also saw a snippet of a young Paul Newman when I was in the edit suite compressing video for the website preview yesterday. You can check it out at www.abc.net.au/austory
Well that's it for this week. Have a great weekend everyone!
Cheers
Kelly Williams
