 Obituary:  Actress Sharon Acker, 87, died at her home in Toronto.  She was known for her roles both on the big screen and on the small one:

Sharon Eileen Acker was born in Toronto on April 2, 1935, and adopted when she was 9. She attended Davisville Public School, John Fisher Public School and Northern Vocational School, where she studied art and graduated in 1953.

In 1956, she played the teacher Mrs. Stacey on a 1956 CBC adaptation of Anne of Green Gables and joined the Stratford Shakespeare Festival company, starring as Anne Page opposite future Star Trek co-star William Shatner in a production of The Merry Wives of Windsor.

She traveled to Europe to perform with the Stratford company in Henry V and remained there to make her big-screen debut in Lucky Jim (1957), starring Ian Carmichael and Terry-Thomas. British producers John and Ray Boulting called her “freshly appealing” and signed her to a seven-year contact, but she broke things off after getting married and having a child.

Not sure why this guy uses his middle name of "Asa."  Al Jolson changed his name rather than used his given name of "Asa Yoelson."  Hutchinson's first name is "William," so I haven't a clue why he ditched a perfectly good first name in favor of a name that is subject to all kinds of derogatory comments.

Yep.  It is true the GI extremists in Oz and NZ had plenty of help from self-described "feminists" in the UK who defamed KJK because of envy.
