Brian
Please forgive a little Auzzie nostalgia, Brian do you remember Burt Newton on Bobby Limb's Sound of Music?
Regards ... Tim
Hi Tim
Afraid I have never liked Bert Newton ,he just never appealed to me.Nor John Laws whom I think was American.Used to love watching The Paul Hogan Show with Delvene Delaney and her now husband, John Cornell though.
Brian
Regarding "small screen" legends, I would love to see Essie Davis on a stamp, perhaps garbed in one of her Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries outfits. And holding her gold-plated, pearl-handled revolver.
Wine
Are you sure you've got the right story there Tim? I don't recollect Bert Newton being on Bobby Limb's shows. Once he left Channel 7, he was Graham Kennedy's off-sider , and later again Don Lane's off-sider, apart from a few of his own shows.
Brian, were you thinking of Don Lane, rather than John Laws?
Don Lanes' real name was Morton Donald Isaacson. His father was Jewish and his mother Catholic.

Can you explain what relevance religion has to the discussion of stamps.

Hi Jill,
You are quite correct, I'm mixing memories.
Regards ... Tim
"Can you explain what relevance religion has to the discussion of stamps."
Hi Rob and others
Apparently, but I do not know if this is true, it was at the suggestion of Channel nine that Don Lane use a stage name, as many stars have.
But I agree with you, it was an interesting piece of Trivia, it is like a lot of people do not know that Nicole Kidman is not Australian by Birth, she was to quote Bruce Springsteen, "Born in the USA", so she is American, then Australian, because her parents are Australian, so she holds dual citizenship, as do many of us.(I was born in New Zealand)
Even Darryl Somers changed his name for TV.
I love trivia,
I actually lived a few blocks from the Gibbs Brothers, (Yes the BEE GEES) when they lived in Queensland, and I also went to the same Catholic School as Mel Gibson, when his father brought the family out from the USA.
Horamakhet
Don Lane chose his stage name long before he came to Australia. Apparently he took the name Lane in tribute to his favourite singer, Frankie Laine.
As far as I know, Daryl Somers was born Daryl Somers.
Hi Jillcrow
Darryl Somers family actually have a German Surname, they changed it by deed poll.
I remember reading the story in the now defunct Australian Post years ago.
Regards
Horamakhet
Nicole Kidman was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, the 50th State of the US on June 20, 1967.
Franz, i think if you'd been at the bombing of Darwin and the landings at Gallipoli, you'd have the entire Aussie experience
Tim, were those memories shaken or stirred?

Hi amsd

If anyone might happen to have a scan of the US ones, a side-by-side comparison
of the two issues would be interesting.
