MURDOCH COMPETITOR SENT TO NT ON FRACTIOUS, SMELLY, SPITTING CAMEL ?



According to the latest book by Derryn Hinch HUMAN HEADLINES–My 50 Years in the Media , a stunning blonde cadet reporter on the Sydney Daily Mirror , Anna Torv, caught Rupert Murdoch’s eye . It was rumoured Torv had a journalist boyfriend on the paper and, Hinch writes, he was transferred to Darwin. Torv became Murdoch’s second wife , the marriage lasting 30 years. We wonder if the journo sent north looked anything like the great Rudolph Valentino who wowed the ladies , despite a squeaky voice.
