Jenny Chats With Mary

A biography of Mary Fiorini-Lowell, (nee Mary Bourke), applauding her creative life.

How did a young Mary - from southwest Victoria's country town of Koroit - attend a garden tea party at Buckingham Palace with the Queen; sing Waltzing Matilda at 2 am with Al Grassby, gain employment dubbing for the famous Gina Lollobrigida; perform in numerous radio plays and confidently hitchhike around Europe alone in the '50s?

Born in 1925, ahead of her time, how did she stay true to her creative life and achieve all these things and more?

These are the questions I pursue as I chat with Mary.
