In comic detail it tells about receiving personal advice from actor Chips Rafferty; being stranded on a snow-covered mountain with Helmut Newton and Maggie Tabberer; applying makeup to a nervous Lawrence Olivier; having lunch with Jimmy Stewart in the Mojave Desert; and pumping water out of the Sydney Opera House prior to its completion for a preview fashion parade.
It also navigates the hazards of alcohol consumption in the advertising world and in the rural bohemia of Eltham, Victoria, where she lived. It’s a memoir told with verve, which inspires the reader to live to the fullest – even if it’s only on a ‘Shoestring’.
