Summary

A 4th-generation performer, Noni Hazlehurst has storytelling in her blood. She has graced our screens, stages and airwaves for fifty years – and won our hearts and respect in the process. From presenting Play School for more than two decades, acting in films such as June Again, Ladies in Black, Candy, Little Fish and Monkey Grip, and ten years hosting and writing for Better Homes and Gardens to playing lead roles in series like A Place to Call Home, Nancy Wake and The Shiralee, recently presenting the SBS documentary series Every Family Has a Secret, and of course her numerous theatre roles, including her award-winning one-woman play Mother.Brave, open and unafraid to be vulnerable, Noni is in many ways an ordinary woman – a single mother of two boys, and a freelance worker, she knows about the challenges of constant juggling and being stretched to the limit. Yet she is also an extraordinary woman and a trailblazer. This is no ordinary memoir. Funny, fierce, thoughtful and clear-eyed about the world, her story is full, rich, lively, opinionated – and a testament to her grit, willpower and talent.
