Not related to the music world in the strictest sense although she did make it a point to have top guest stars from various genres of music on her show. I am referring to the hysterical and outrageous Dame Edna Everage, portrayed by British comedian Barry Humphries, who died recently at the age of 89.
Her outfits, which always included the most elaborate glasses she could find, were the highlight of each episode of her own syndicated show and whatever guest appearances she made. Her catchphrase which seemed to begin every performance was "Helllllllllllooooo Possums!"
She performed until very late in life and was right up there with Hyacinth Bucket when it came to British comediennes poking fun at themselves and their exaggerated senses of what was considered "high society."
Dame Edna, you will be missed!
