She's unrecognisable from how she looked when she first blew onto the scene! She's stunning in this 2020 interview

I hope 🙏 she ask God for forgiveness 🙏 before she passed away. My mother and Father both had affairs when i was 4 and destroyed our family.

I will never forget what she said in an interview, and I believe this is the correct wording:<br>“Hazel and Bob had young love. Bob and I had mature love”.<br>Maybe I’m wrong, but is this the sort of thing you say on national TV??<br>A friend of mine once met Hazel Hawke and said she was one of the loveliest, most generous and most dignified people she had ever met. <br>My friend couldn’t stand D’Alpuget, calling her a ‘home wrecker’. <br>My friend was probably the most astute person I have ever met.

Most people even though they’ve had a mammogram find their own lump. All my friends have.

Blanche took Hormone Replacement Therapy for over 20 years, when medically the limit is 5 years.<br>She dismissed the clinical findings that linked HRT to cancer because the she felt the benefits outweighed the risks.<br>Blanche passed at 82 & so I daresay she'd still be happy with her long HRT history.

Nobody would have ever heard of her except she broke up Bob Hawke's family. She was the Monica Lewinski of Australia. Id have thought she'd get a mention but thats all
