About this listen

Toni Lamond has lived and breathed show business all her life and has had a distinguished career in TV, cabaret and the musical stage. Born to an Australian show-business dynasty, Toni's career began at age 10 singing on the radio and touring with her parents' variety shows and has since encompassed musical comedy, straight plays, recordings, film and cabaret.

The much-awaited follow-up to Toni's bestselling autobiography, First Half, Still a Gypsy details the next instalment of Toni's life and chronicles her years in the United States and her return to Australian shores.

Editor reviews

Drawing on her lifetime of experience in vaudeville and cabaret, Aussie icon Toni Lamond razzles and dazzles in this performance of her mesmerizing memoir. Still a Gypsy is the sequel to Lamond’s first autobiography, the best-selling First Half, and chronicles her time spent in Los Angeles, working in theater and television, and her mid-nineties return to Australian stages. In her urbane cabaret drawl, Lamond doles out yarn after yarn, each a tribute to her playful personality and time-honed stagecraft. The former comedienne brims with light-hearted good humor, while at the same time keeping things honest and intimate. To that end, listeners will immediately feel a strong rapport - a warm familiarity - with this storied and celebrated entertainer.

Critic reviews

"One of the most compelling stories in Australian show business history with a wonderful leading lady and a fine supporting cast of heroes and others!" (Bert Newton)
"Imagine having a backstage pass for a long conversation with a woman of substance who is an outstanding performer. Add an irresistible Australian accent, and the next hours will speed away. Toni Lamond entertains by sharing her experiences as a songwriter, dancer, performer, and cabaret singer. She also reveals deeply moving personal experiences with the same honesty and forthright delivery with which she describes her professional life. As she dishes on the behavior of audiences, relates backstage scrapes, and shares the frustrations of producing creative work under deadline, her love of performing is as clear as her Aussie accent. This recording will inspire listeners to seek out her previous memoir, First Half, as well as her numerous musical recordings." (AudioFile Magazine)
