Intimately Marcia Hines

Arts

When Marcia Hines arrived in Australia in 1970, it was to do a job.  She was just 16 years of age and the job was to last just six months.

What she didn’t know at the time was that she was pregnant, would go on to sell millions of records, capture the hearts and adoration of an entire nation and eventually become an Aussie.

46 years later this asthmatic, diabetic single mum, has become one of this countries living treasures and somehow manages to look more beautiful as each year goes by.

Dean has been luck enough to see Marcia Hines perform three times and now you can experience her amazing stage presence for yourself, when the production VELVET open in Melbourne late March.
