Snippet:
Johnny Young had three distinct – but related – claims to fame. First, he was one of Australia’s most popular teen idols of the 1960s. Years later, he co-produced and hosted the much-loved television show Young Talent Time, preparing teenagers for stardom, from Jamie Redfern to Tina Arena and Dannii Minogue.
