Lorraine Downes Happy Marks The Spot

Lorraine Downes was thrust into the international spotlight when she became the first, and still the only New Zealander to win the Miss Universe title in 1983. Such a coveted crown has come with high demands and expectations, and she's been a household name ever since.A career in modelling and styling has been hugely successful, and along the way she's had two wonderful children and written two successful books. She's also had periods away from the spotlight, contrasting with the very public cancer battle of her late husband, New Zealand cricket great Martin Crowe, who died in 2016. Throughout all this, Lorraine has become known for her grace and humility, with a philosophical approach to her challenges and an unselfish acceptance of her successes.This episode is honestly not to be missed. Lorraine was so generous in what she has shared, there is something in this episode for everyone.Brought to you by: Roar CollectiveHost: Simone AndersonProducer: Nick Walker
