About:

Stagestruck is the candid and charming autobiography of beloved Australian entertainer Val Jellay, whose career spanned vaudeville, Tivoli Theatre, radio, television, and decades of live performance. With warmth, humour, and honesty, Jellay reflects on the realities of life on stage — the glamour, the grind, and the resilience required to survive in show business.

This copy is personally signed and inscribed by both Maurie Fields and Val Jellay to a named recipient. As both a performer in her own right and the wife of iconic comedian Maurie Fields, Jellay occupies a special place in Australia’s entertainment history, making signed copies of her autobiography increasingly scarce.
