Mt. Edna” and two series of her own innovative chat show,
“The Dame Edna Experience”, with special guests Cher,
Robin Williams, Roseanne Barr, Sean Connery and Mel Gibson.
Her
books include Dame Edna’s Coffee Table Book, Dame
Edna’s Bedside Companion and her seminal autobiography, My
Gorgeous Life, which is currently being adapting for the
stage and screen.
Possibly
Jewish, Dame Edna is a widow, with three grown children.
She spends her time visiting world leaders and jet-setting
between her homes in Los Angeles, London, Sydney, Switzerland
and Martha’s Vineyard. She is the Founder and Governor
of Friends of the Prostate and the creator of The World
