The First Merry Widow

Born near the docks in Geelong, Carrie Moore was destined to become the queen of the Edwardian stage. From the bright lights of London to the vaudeville halls of Hobart, Carrie captivated audiences around the world. She danced across stages adorned in diamonds but died penniless and alone in Sydney. This is the story of Australia’s own Carrie Moore, the Merry Widow.
