Paulette McDonagh

[Graham Shirley on Paulette McDonagh] 'Described by Phyllis in 1971 as 'the quiet, authoritative type', Paulette proved to be a natural, indeed ebullient storyteller who was able to re-create the heyday of the McDonagh sisters' filmmaking with vivid descriptions of production challenges and triumphs, difficult and easy actors and technicians, film trade identities, and the big contrast between her filmmaking and what she saw as the poor-quality Australian films of others.'
