Noni Hazlehurst opens up about life over 60
She’s been a fixture on our screens for decades, and many of us have grown up with her. Now, Aussie icon Noni Hazlehurst has opened up about all things life and ageing in a candid interview with Deborah Hutton.
Noni, 63, reveals one of her favourite parts about getting older has been the freedom of no longer caring what others think. “It’s taken too long! As a female brought up in the '50s and '60s, my mother always said, ‘Wear a nice dress and be nice and you’ll get on in life,’” she tells Hutton. “That’s not true. It’s taking away your power.”
Looking back on her impressive life and career, Noni says there’s a renewed sense of appreciation that comes with age. “You can reflect on so many things as an older person,” she explains. “Your stories are richer.”
But the A Place to Call Home star has no plans of retiring any time soon. Whether it’s in front of or behind the camera, she’s ready to take it on. “I love talking to people and I love sharing, and my bottom line is we share more similarities than differences.”
