Noeline Brown

In 2008, she won the Norman Kessell award[16] for best performance for her portrayal of Florence Foster Jenkins in Peter Quilter's play Glorious![17] She was also appointed Australia's first Ambassador for Ageing by the Rudd government.[18]

In 2009, she co-starred with Barry Creyton in Peter Quilter's play Duet at the Ensemble Theatre in Sydney.[19][20]

She is a longtime member of the Australian Labor Party and appeared in It's Time advertisements for the party before the 1972 election.[21] She has twice (1999 and 2003) run for New South Wales Parliament as an endorsed Labor Party candidate.[22]

In 2017 she published a memoir, Living the 1960s, about her life in that decade when living in Marrickville in Sydney.[23]

Noeline's most recent radio interviews have been for ABC Radio during 2018 and Stages podcast with Peter Eyers in 2019.

In 1976, Brown married one of the writer/producers of The Naked Vicar Show, Tony Sattler.[24] The couple were close friends of Graham Kennedy; Noeline was present when Kennedy died in 2005.[25] She and Sattler have lived in Bowral for many years, and Kennedy moved there to be closer to them. When Kennedy's health began to fail, Sattler and Brown reportedly contacted former Nine Network boss Kerry Packer to appeal for financial support to care for the ailing star (Kennedy having earned many millions of dollars for Packer and Nine in his heyday); Packer declined to assist Kennedy financially but, after the story became public, an anonymous benefactor (later revealed as former Nine Network chief Sam Chisholm) came forward and donated a substantial sum (reportedly AU$150,000) for Kennedy's ongoing support and care.[26]
