Jan Leeming continues the reading of her autobiography 'Addicted to Love'.  In this episode she recounts her first failed dinner party; the history behind her name; her diet beliefs and her early touring theatre career.  She tells how in 1965 a chance audition led her to become the first woman newsreader in Australia and of her love of France, inspired by her great friend Owen Leeming.  From Bangkok to New Zealand, Jan shares her thoughts and memories - and even the secret of her hair tone.
