Surviving Fame

Vaudeville, Musical Comedy, Opera and High Fashion Modelling led her into the fledgling television industry and fame, as a magazine columnist and an on camera phenomenon.

In the 1950's and 1960's, her meteoric rise to fame made Panda a super star, the first female Logie winner and the highest paid woman in television.

For more than three years, she appeared nightly on ch.9's In Melbourne Tonight with Graham Kennedy, Bert Newton. Moving to ch.7 she appeared with International stars ... going on to win three more Logies.

Finally, as 'Princess Panda,' she reached the pinnacle of an outstanding career.
