AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'I don't remember exactly when I first saw Wendy Hughes, or more accurately when I first became aware of Wendy Hughes as a presence on the screen. I thought I had first seen her in Lonely Hearts (1982), the AFI award-winning Best Feature film directed by Paul Cox, but I now realise she must have been in earlier Australian films, or on television without my being aware of exactly who Wendy Hughes was.

I would probably have seen her as one of the fine cast of My Brilliant Career (1980), directed by Gillian Armstrong, a film that did much to re-establish the reputation of Australian filmmaking internationally. As the concerned, caring Aunt Helen of Judy Davis' Sybilla, it was an important early step for Wendy Hughes and clearly demonstrated her compassionate side.'
