Emma Peel aka as Barbara Else
This image has just appeared in the University of Otago Magazine (Issue 23, June 2009).
NZ novelist Barbara Else was asked to write an article about her student days in the late 1960s.
This marvellous photo shows her in the role of Emma Peel , the man in the background is a Murray Jamieson, playing ‘Stead’. Look at those legs!

    Perhaps the length of the legs is related to the measure of the writing talent. Some people get all the gifts!

  2. Well and didn't we all have those glorious moments way back then?

    To reply to 'eag': not all of us did ... some of us were born as ugly ducklings, and grew up still lumpy in legs and literature!
