Goodbye Possums : Dame Edna Retires

Dame Edna Everage is "hanging up her glasses and retiring", the Daily Mail reports.

Barry Humphries, 78, the man behind the madcap glasses and catchphrases such as "hello possums", says that although he may appear as Edna on TV in the future his next tour will be the last to feature Australia’s most famous housewife.

Dame Edna became Humphries' most famous creation in the early 80s when the larger than life housewife from Moonee Ponds in Melbourne, became an international star with her own talk show. (source)
