"Another music legend singer, songwriter and actress, Chrissy (Christine Joy) Amphlett (1959-2013), was honoured in 2015 by the renaming of a lane for her behind the Princess Theatre. This followed a campaign culminating in 7,000 signatures from her fans. Amphlett's tumultuous career included big hits with the Divinyls. Before her death from breast cancer, she fought hard to raise awareness of this disease. The lane features art works depicting her iconic schoolgirl's uniform and her dogs, by Peter Gouldthorpe." p. 175. |
