homicide: an unwelcome guest

Bit nice to see Noelene Brown in a role as a nasty piece of work in this episode of Homicide from November 1969. 



Here she is with Brian Wenzel. I'm not entirely sure what her character is supposed to be doing. She is involved with guys who are trying to get access to a safe full of money in a house that's been sold to a Brisbane family ostensibly by a woman moving to the UK but she's actually been buried in the backyard. 

It's funny they didn't give her a bigger role. She was definitely a celebrity at this time (as she remains). I mean she was in this show (article is Sun-Herald 10 August 1969 p. 88): 

This one (Age TV Radio Guide 24 April 1969 p. 10). 

Imaginative title on that one. The SMH also has a story dated 17 February 1969 (p. 15) that says she was in the new Beauty and the Beast. Noel Ferrier was the host of that show and he was in the previous episode, 'Blue Moo', playing a night-club owner. 

SMH 14 June 1969 p. 21 has this item. Whatever Pay Cards is, I don't know - the issue of the SMH from the day before is missing from newspapers.com. It's not that important. All I'm saying is, Noeline Brown was a real star, a celebrity, and it's odd she was in this episode of Homicide. Thuh end.
