The 1950s Glamour Model Who Murdered Her Boyfriend

  • Summary

  • This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.


    In 1954, Sydney man Arthur Griffith died at the hands of his girlfriend, a former Miss Australia semifinalist, Shirley Beiger.


    Their lives up to that point are fascinating to look back on, but what happened afterwards is positively extraordinary.


    Our guest today is Sheridan Harbridge. Sheridan is an actor and playwright, and she's co-written a theatre show inspired by Shirley Beiger to be performed in one of Australia's oldest courtrooms as part of the 2025 Sydney Festival in January.
