MAVIS RIVERS

This video was one of the 'Talking Portraits' created for ‘The Story of Auckland’ – as told at the Auckland Anniversary Weekend event which was held at Shed 10 in January last year.

It features portraits from Auckland Libraries Heritage Images collection and actors produced by Inside Out Productions.

This particular piece on Mavis Rivers - the Samoan Jazz vocalist who attained success in Hollywood - features our very own Pani aka Letti Chadwick.
