I grew up in an era when money was not readily available. We were into the post-Depression years and World War II.

I was born in the middle of the century in the middle of the country, a classic Baby Boomer.

I am a product of the 1950s.

I grew up in the United States.

You have to remember that I was an Australian girl of the Fifties and Sixties. For Australians at that time, it was imperative to get out of the country and discover the world.

I had a career for 25 years in Australia before I ever came to the United States.

Since 1948 I have spent every single day thinking how the economic and political worlds have changed.

Well, I actually grew up in the sixties. I feel very lucky, actually, that that was my slice of time that I was dealt. Let's remember that the real motivation in the sixties, and even in the fifties, was the Cold War.

I grew up in the early '70s in New England.

The 1950s would be my ideal decade because I'm actually very traditional; I enjoy being at home, and I'm a complete nester.
