PAM ANN In spite of the demeaning monikers - trolley dolly and tart-with-a-cart being about as dazzling as they get - air stewards have an undeniable air of glamour. Perhaps it‘s the same allure afforded most activities which take place at over 30.000ft. Indeed. Pam Ann is glamour personified. multiplied by a camp factor of ten and divided by a love of all things 60$ kitsch. A time-served hostess with the mostest who has ascended from Aussie backwater girl-next-door to sassy straight-talkin' Sheila. Pam Ann IS here to
divulge catty
accounts of her life
servrng in the skies.
With her head in
the clouds and
feet on the
ground. this
character
comedian is a
turbulent take
off of arr
travel's dying
breed.
Nostalgic
and spot on.
