Noni Hazlehurst has been a beloved fixture in Australian homes for decades, from Play School to Better Homes and Gardens.

In her new memoir Dropping the Mask Noni opens up about her journey to self-discovery and concealing her true self to fit the roles others expected of her.

In this chat with Antoinette Lattouf, Noni shares her MeToo moment for the first time when a senior entertainment executive locked her in a room, changing her perspective forever.

You can grab a copy of Dropping the Mask from any good book store or online
