Mike Walsh Show. Before the 2008 Logie Awards, Little reflected on what her Gold Logie win in 1976 meant to her, "Well daaahling, I was in total shock. Absolute shock, I thought, 'What me? Winning a Gold Logie? For heaven's sake this is ridiculous, there's been a mistake.'" Her stage career took off with ''
Jerry's Girls,'' in which American director John Frost teamed Little with well known entertainers
Marcia Hines,
