Hear Noni Hazlehurst share inspiring life story

Fans of Australian acting icon Noni Hazlehurst will be thrilled to see her up close at Venue 114, Bokarina on Wednesday 30 October.

Presented by Sunshine Coast Libraries, Noni will talk about her new memoir Dropping the Mask with ABC Sunshine Coast journalist Owen Jacques. Noni, who has graced our screen and theatres for more than 40 years, is finally telling her story.

She is a household name and actor, from hosting Playschool for more than two decades to acting in films such as Ladies in Black, June Again, Monkey Grip, Candy and Little Fish.

Noni was also a beloved host on Better Homes and Gardens, had a starring role in fan favourite A Place to Call Home, and, most recently, hosting the SBS miniseries, Every Family Has a Secret.

A natural-born storyteller, Noni is funny, fierce, and truthful. This memoir is full, rich, lively, opinionated and a testament to the power of storytelling.

Follow her journey as a single mother to two boys, juggling a high-profile career and becoming the second woman to be inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame in 32 years.

Noni’s books will be available for purchase with a special book signing session. Tickets are sure to sell out quickly, so get yours no.
