Media Turn Out for Zemanek Book Launch

Last night more than one hundred of Sydney’s top media personalities and producers joined friends and family of Marcella Zemanek to pay tribute to Stan and launch the new book, My Way or the Highway.

The launch was held at the Astral Bar, Star City Casino in Sydney.

Among the attendees were Kerri-Anne Kennerley (Nine Network), Brian Walsh (Foxtel), Alan Jones (2GB), John Brennan (2GB), John Stanley (2UE), Glenn Wheeler (2UE) Simon Townsend, Ian Ross (Seven Network), Ray Chesterton (Daily Telegraph), Barry O’Farrell (NSW Opposition Leader) and former co-stars of Stan Zemanek's Beauty and the Beast, Prue Macsween, Ita Buttrose, Jan Murray, Jeannie Little, Carlotta and Susie Elelman - just to name a few.

Speaking to the audience, New Holland CEO Fiona Schultz said “that it was a privilege and pleasure to have worked with the Zemanek family and publish this book”.

Foxtel’s Brian Walsh introduced the “Beauties” from “Beauty and the Beast” to launch the book. Jeannie Little, Jan Murray, Ita Buttrose and Prue Macsween entertained the crowds with funny anecdotes about Stan. Jan even proclaimed that she “wished she married Stan, so she could divorce the bugger!!”.

Marcella gave a heart felt speech about those people who supported her and the family through Stan’s most difficult times.

Janise Beaumont, who helped Stan and Marcella bring the book together, was congratulated on her efforts in making it work.
