‘On the 29th of April I was extremely honoured to be included in the Variety Club’s ‘ENTERTAINERS OF THE CENTURY’ presentation at Melbourne’s DOCKLANDS. To stand alongside my hero’s from the past and present in a magnificent painting by JAMIE COOPER was the supreme compliment indeed. I am also honoured with a star on the Walk of Fame, and part of a giant mosaic (of the painting) that graces one of the complex’s walls. Thank you Melbourne, and VARIETY. BARRY.
