Renee O'Connor

This news isn't really about Renee but about her talented daughter, Iris Sura. Normally I don't post about the children of our Xena alumni BUT this is of special interest to me because I'm a WW2 history nut and I think it's pretty special. Iris has been cast in the role of Anne Frank - a phantomprojects production. This is a huge role for the talented Iris.

Renee said:
I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart." (Anne Frank) Her words are a relevant, daily reminder. My daughter, Iris, has the honor of playing 'Anne' in the @phantomprojects production. It's going to be a great show.

If you are in the LA area, The Diary of Anne Frank will be:

From the AUSXIP Archives - 24 February 1999

Can someone tell me WHY I had a blue background for the updates in 1999?! I don't remember why it's blue. It's not even AUSXIP's colours. Ick. Sorry.

  • TRIVIA TIME: Season 2 Tapes: Okay to those who have the tapes I did a triple take on the cover for Warrior Princess Tramp...the people at Real Entertainment did a major boo-boo. They have the picture of PRIESTESS Leah instead of a pic of Meg! LOL! It's a pic of Leah from where they are about to burn her. Now I know I'm obssessed about this show but it's quite obvious to any fan that it's the wrong pic!! Okay enough laughing at Real Entertainment :-) Pwaise Hestia!

I'm posting regular Australian Bushfire news updates on my Facebook Page.

Australian Bushfires Update: I want to thank everyone for their concerns about my safety. I'm 100% safe from the bushfires. I live in the inner city of Sydney and no where near the fires. The smoke haze is the only hazard. As to why these fires are so ferocious: Australia is in a severe drought and has been for quite some time. The heat + tinder dry forests, it was ripe to explode. That's what happened. Thousands are diplaced, ten have died, we've have fire crews from New Zealand, Canada and the US come in to help us. This is a beast that continues to grow because it's finding fuel to feed the hunger. In New South Wales (my home state) there are over 100 fires and this has been raging for 122 days.

To give you a perspective about the damage of the fires:

  NSW: At least 4 MILLION hectares has burnt since 1 July 2019

and if we compare it to other big fires:

The Amazon: 900,000 hectares were burnt in 2019

The US / California Fires: 800,000 hectares were burnt in 2029

To give you an idea how high these flames are: 70 METERS - The Sydney Opera House at it's tallest sail is 65 Meters in height.

In Victoria (the state south of NSW), more than 800,000 hectares have been burnt. Fires have been burning since late November but they have intensified in recent days, leaving two people dead and destroying around 43 homes in East Gippsland.

 

01 January 2020!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I hope this year brings you all that you wish and we have less angst and heartache in 2020.
