Make-up artist Peggy Carter interviewed by Lorna Lesley.
In this clip Peggy talks about working on the seminal film Walkabout (Nicolas Roeg, UK-Australia, 1971).
She recalls a wild ride in 4WDs through the desert landscape under the inspiring leadership of British director Nicolas Roeg and an astounding debut performance from a teenage David Gulpilil.
Peggy was the make-up artist on some of Australia’s most renowned films of the late 1960s and 1970s including Age of Consent (Michael Powell, UK-Australia, 1969), Sunday Too Far Away (Ken Hannam, 1975), Caddie (Donald Crombie, 1976) and The Picture Show Man (John Power, 1977).
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
