Second Hand Silver Logie Worth Exactly $2225
Discovering that one can purchase Silver Logies on eBay has strangely saddened me, you know? Because I always thought that if I was ever to get one of my very own, it could only be through hard work and years of sacrifice/waitressing at cafes. Now that I know that it’s possible for me to get my paws on the prestigious award simply by outbidding someone called xxX_toowoomba_princess74_Xxx, I may stop studying Stanislavski altogether.
Bunney Brooke’s 1974 Silver Logie for best actress was auctioned off on eBay yesterday for $2225 after 24 hours bidding.
Wait, is it Bunney Brooke or Bunny Brooke? Either way, I liked her. I remember watching her on E Street (she played Vi Patchett) when I was a kidlet.
Brooke died of cancer in Sydney at 80 in 2000 but it’s not known how her Silver Logie ended up with seller “hippopawn” based in Caboolture, Queensland.
“It came to us in the normal course of business,” was the only reply to an email. The buyer also remained a mystery.
Let’s hope Bunny Brooke’s Silver Logie has gone to a good home, wherever that might be.
