Travel Tip: Pop Culture and Cinema in United States
Helen Reddy

Best known as a recording artist, Helen Reddy had more than a dozen Top 40 hits in the United States. She was the first Australian to win a Grammy Award and to have three #1 hits in the same year. In television, Helen was the first Australian to host her own one-hour weekly primetime variety show on an American network, along with several specials that were seen in over forty countries.

In theater, Helen has starred in London's West End and on Broadway in New York. As a solo concert artist, she has played at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York, as well as the Royal Albert Hall and the Palladium in London. Helen was also the first western female performer invited to sing in the People's Republic of China. In film, her starring role in Disney's Pete's Dragon continues to delight the younger generation, while the lyrics she penned for her feminist anthem "I Am Woman" are now included in Modern American History high school textbooks. Besides the compilation, The Woman I Am: The Definitive Collection, most of Helen's early recordings are now available for digital download worldwide.
