I saw it on TV one year after it had been released, in Argentina, of all places! Still watch it on DVD every now and then. BTW, Anne Louise Lambert, who played Miranda, is cast in a Sherlock Holmes adventure, "The Abbey Grange" (1986) as Lady Brackenstall.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03859142654279670429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480508773034006185.post-32243153659991423422021-03-24T13:16:18.700-07:002021-03-24T13:16:18.700-07:00hello, sorry for disturb, could be possible to be ...hello, sorry for disturb, could be possible to be in contact with mr Peter Arthur Charles Lawrance? the Christine Schuler's Son.<br />thanks for attention <br />LivioTorvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08418091098441220349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480508773034006185.post-7297867471519891432018-11-28T21:59:34.164-08:002018-11-28T21:59:34.164-08:00I am so sorry to hear this news Peter and for your...I am so sorry to hear this news Peter and for your sad loss.<br />I was young when I saw Picnic.

I was very impressed as a teenager and today I am impressed on the same level as 40 years ago. I think "Picnic" was one of the best movies ever made and it makes me very sad to hear from the early deaths of the actresses Christine Schuler, Jane Vallis and the suicide of Rachel Roberts.

I refer, of course, to the relatively early deaths of the schoolgirl actresses, Jane Vallis and Christine Schuler-Lawrance, and the suicide death of headmistress actress Rachel Roberts. Taken as a whole, such occurrences appear to be a ‘fine’ example of life imitating art. (The film and the Joan Lindsay novel on which it’s based have also spawned legend: apparently, some people visit Hanging Rock anticipating paranormal experiences).<br /><br />Actually, I think people like Schuler, Vallis, Margaret Nelson and Tony Hughes have not been getting the recognition they deserve. I mean, from a Canadian perspective, films like <i>Picnic</i> and <i>Puberty Blues</i> and television series like <i>The Lost Islands</i> put Australia on the map in the ’70s and early ’80s—especially for us Gen-Xers. I think Vallis and Hughes in particular have been shamefully slighted over the decades, even at home Down Under, seemingly.<br /><br />Maybe it’s a British Commonwealth thing, for here in Canada we have a bad habit of celebrating our young actors when they’re children and teenagers, and then dismissing them almost entirely once they’re in their twenties. Still, I can’t envision someone like Meagan Follows or Meredith Henderson dying young and receiving as little recognition as what the late Australian actresses have. Maybe someone like Ms Schuler-Lawrance’s son might consider starting a website dedicated to his mother, Jane Vallis and others of their generation who helped put Australia on the map for movie goers and telly viewers in the ’70s and ’80s.R.
