“I still have people who come up to me and talk about Play School every day. It’s remarkable,” says Australian screen icon Noni Hazlehurst in our newest cover story about her passion for performance, the power of speaking up, and, course, Play School.

“For half an hour, twice a day, five days a week, that child watching [Play School] gets unconditional love and non-judgemental acceptance from two adults. And for some children, those are the nicest adults that they’re in contact with.”
