Television viewing was so very different when I was a kid than it is today. TV itself was still only relatively new beginning transmission in 1956. If you wanted to watch something you watched it when it was on.
Many shows were live, and local personalities were considered members of the family. Like Anne Wills. Willsy. You know you’re a success in showbiz when you’re known by a single name. She started out as South Australia’s first weather girl famously, and daringly, wearing a bikini on air, albeit quite modest by today’s standards, when the temperature topped 100 degrees Farenheit. She went on to appear in a succession of shows, winning along the way the love of the public and a record nineteen Logies. Her fans followed the highs and lows of her on and off screen life, with her romances and tragedies making headline news.
