Who am I? There is a bottle of wine to be won


About Subversive

Do you have your own gripe with your local or state government? And what are the streets like in your part of town, in your home state?

If you'd like me to fire a rocket up them, or a shoddy business, I'm listening! You can email me here.


In this fourth instalment, you must guess the celebrity at the peak of their fame in 1960-90. Follow the 10 clues to win.

To go in the draw to win a bottle of Helen & Joey Estate Layla Cabernet Merlot, all you have to do is tell me WHO I AM!

Guess the celebrity correctly and you could win.

Each week I will give you 10 clues to base your answer on. Each of the 12 people I describe will have been at the peak of their fame between 1960 and 1990.

Each Friday, for 12 weeks, I will - until Friday December 1, 2017 - draw that week's winner.

Every correct response goes in the draw to win a bottle of this excellent wine. But please email your responses here, rather than leaving them in the comments, to avoid spoiling it for others.

Last week's winner was Donna Robinson, of Tasmania, who correctly answered Andy Warhol. Your wine it on its way, Donna!

So here is this week’s mystery!

Who am I?

  • In the town I was born in, they speak English and French
  • I am still alive – lucky, given that I still smoke
  • If you really knew me, you would call me Roberta
  • I have taken the time to look at both sides
  • I officially retired in 2007, but re-emerged
  • I was a friend of James Taylor and Graham Nash
  • I have a curious fascination with the colour blue
  • I am a better singer than painter, but enjoy both
  • Emma Thompson once cried listening to me
  • I have been considered one of the most influential of the 20th Century
