Jeanne Little's Daughter's Touching Tribute To Her Mum

The flamboyant star has been cruelly robbed of her legendary spark– and now daughter Katie just wants her mum to die with dignity – and now daughter Katie just wants her mum to die with dignity.

She was the life of every party – a vibrant, triple Logie-winning TV queen whose wild wigs, zany outfits and unmistakable catchcry, “Hello Daaaarling!” made Jeanne Little one of our most loved stars.

Sadly, for the past seven years, Jeanne has been bedridden in a Sydney nursing home, barely able to move and unable to walk. Her famous voice silenced forever, thanks to the cruel ravages of Alzheimer’s disease.

“Mum spends her days just staring at the ceiling,” explains her daughter Katie Little, who would gladly throw her support behind legalising euthanasia so her mum can die with dignity.

Jeanne’s mind has been “robbed of all memories”. She has no idea who anyone is, and no clue of her past glittering life as one of our most colourful and beloved entertainers.

LOVE OF HER LIFE

Katie, 42, says her father Barry, Jeanne’s devoted husband and sidekick for the past 50 years, was beyond devastated when she was taken from him. “They were the loves of one another’s lives,” she says, explaining Barry is now in the same nursing home, dealing with Parkinson’s disease and physically very frail.
