Mr Squiggle turns 50 today!
However, I was sad to read in Wikipedia:-
Jane Fennell was an
Australian TV presenter before a car accident caused her serious facial injuries and ended her career.
She became famous via the children's
television program
Mr. Squiggle and Friends (1959) as Miss Jane. She is the daughter of Australian actor
Willie Fennell[1] and grew up in
Sydney, Australia. After the car accident, she became close to Australian actor
John Ewart, who was a close friend of her father, and whom she had known since she was 15. Jane and John became engaged in 1992 but postponed the
wedding due to the death of Jane's father. Two years later, they
married in a bedside ceremony as John lay dying from
oesophagus cancer. Jane became a
widow just nine hours after the wedding.
