This posting in a way is connected to the previous one, as this time I present an outstanding Australian artist who rose to fame abroad, more precisely in Britain. Anona Winn (née Anona Edna Wilkins, 1904-1994) was an actress, broadcaster and singer. Born in Sydney, she trained at Sydney Conservatory. After playing parts varying from pantomime to Shakespeare in a repertory company, she moved to England. She played the leading part for 8 weeks in "Hit The Deck". Within a few years she had made more than 300 appearances in various radio shows including the BBC's Just a Minute. Winn was a regular in the BBC Radio version of Twenty Questions. Winn was awarded an MBE in 1954. She died in Bournemouth aged 90. This exquisite record was made in 1934.
