Australia’s first supermodel and two-time Gold Logie winner Maggie Tabberer has died at the age of 87.
Daughter Amanda Tabberer confirmed the sad news in an Instagram post on Friday.
‘This morning we lost our beautiful mother and Nanna. She was an icon in every sense of the word and we will miss her dearly… Along with the rest of Australia. Rest in peace Nanna. We love you to bits forever,’ she wrote.
Journalist Andrew Hornery said much of Australia would be ‘bereft’ at the passing of the former editor and presenter.
‘Legend. Icon. Champion. There are not enough descriptors to truly encapsulate what she represented over a seven decade career,’ he wrote.
‘We crossed paths many times and it was always a pleasure. She enjoyed a little tittle tattle and had a wonderful sense of humour – self deprecating but always positive. My sincerest condolences to and their extended family. What a life. Vale lovely lady.’
More to come.
