1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Jum Mission with Jonesy and Amanda Sad Weekend.

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: We lost Bones Hillman, the bass guitars from Midnight Oil.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: And we also lost Jeanie Little. She was eighty two

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: years old. She'd had Alzheimers the last decade or so.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: Genie Little was a phenomenon thanks to The Mike Walsh

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: Show in nineteen seventy four. She started on that program.

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: Did you work on the Mike Walsh Show? Now?

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: I worked on the midday show with Ray Martin, so

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: I was in that same circle because then Mike went

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: to do a night show. But anyone who worked at

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: Channel nine would have known Genie. She was the most friendly, outgoing,

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: lovely woman. She had a very distinctive voice, and this

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: actually was her voice. Hello Dolly, famous for the daring

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: and that's actually how she spoke. That wasn't an act.

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: And she first went on the show, I think the

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Mike Walsh Show because she was making clothes out of

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: garbage bags and things, and she went on just as

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: a novelty segment and she became so loved. She became

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: a huge fixture on that show, became a huge entertainment icon.

20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: She won the Gold Logi and she was just the loveliest,

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: loveliest woman. I'd forgotten this until I read about this

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: this morning. She did a one woman tribute show to

23
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: Marlena Dietrich and I went to see it.

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: Did you really?

25
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: I went.

27
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: I was visiting my auntie in Canberra and she said,

28
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: I've booked us some tickets to go and see the

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 1: show in Queen Bean and said, dinner. You have dinner

30
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: and there's Genny Little doing songs from Alina Dietrick.

31
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: What did she do well?

32
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: She did songs from Malina Dietrick and told stories about

33
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: it was it was great. I didn't know much about.

00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: Marlena Dietrich, because you learned a lot arter.

35
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: I learned that she said Darling.

36
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: Did she try to weep in Darling? In there a bit?

37
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but because many years ago, how old
