General TV History

Despite her many journalistic and professional achievements she will probably be best remembered by many as the interviewer in the Omo commercials:

Although that ad is from the 1970s I seem to recall she was still doing Omo ads as late as the 1980s.

(EDIT: Actually on second thoughts I think I might have confused Anne Deveson with Sue Smith who was the ex-ACA reporter who used to do ads for Pears shampoo. I remember she used to stare harshly to the camera while going through supermarket aisles and mocking the rival shampoo brands… “oh and those questionable cheapies… you think they were laundry detergent!”. But I digress)

She also worked on current affairs program Seven Days in the 1960s. This was part of a story she did on lesbian relationships. Pretty groundbreaking stuff for the 1960s…
