| Yes, I know. The site started in the year 2000, so this is its 21st year, but that would only confuse Flat Earth Antivaxxers who still love Sabrina. |
12 November 2020 Found a nice signed pic of Sabrina 25 October 2020 Sabrina visits a polio victim in hospital, 1959. And a new little magazine article from 1959 about Sabrina shopping in Sydney in disguise . 22 October 2020 A brand new (short) magazine article about our Sabrina - Present from the Past - Play , 9 April 1959 with some nice pix 15 October 2020 After 16 years of searching, I've finally found video of Sabrina's visit to Toolern Vale to market Australian wool. Persistence pays off. Sabrina promotes wool in century heat in the Toolern Vale, Victoria, 24 January 1959 . Watch the video! Read about The Incident . 14 October 2020 Sabrina performs at the March of Dimes fundraiser, 1955, for the Polio Appeal. See a newsreel . 13 October 2020 A less-cropped shot of one of the Sabrina Greetings cards - 1955. And an atmospheric studio head-shot of a young Sabrina. 9 October 2020 Sabby in full - and I mean FULL - makeup. A nice little upgrade to the pic of Sabby visiting hospital patients in 1959. 5 October 2020 Sabrina on the cover of Swedish mag Se in 1959 And found an unwatermarked version of Sabrina having a Dame Edna moment, apparently at the New Horticultural Hall in London, June 1959 4 October 2020 Sabrina and the Satan in High Heels cast
I believe this was taken on 27 April 1959 at an event in Sydney where Sabby was seen with Sammy Davis J Ten valuable Sabrinapoints will be given to anyone who can identify the men. 3 October 2020 2 October 2020 Dunno when, where or why, but enjoy! We know who ! Ah, those halcion turtleneck days... 1 October 2020 Sabrina is mobbed at the opening of a pet store in Newcastle on 7 Nov 1955. Upgraded this pic of Sabby in Satan In High Heels 30 September 2020 Upgraded this shot of Sabrina who is once again leaning forward for no logical reason. Perhaps her weight distribution is upsetting her balance? Another upgrade of a young Sabrina, sweet and inncocent (?) in 1954. 29 September 2020 Sabrina plays with Simon Shinberg , Australian fashion designer , family friend, and customer of Sabrina. 28 September 2020 Another pic from Sabrina's gatecrashing of the Ascot races in June 1957.

Even the Swedish loved Sabrina as a covergirl in 1956! 27 September 2020 At last, a new magazine article, even if it were tiny: SABRINA - Pose! July 1958 With a new addition to the Tatters photoshoot. 26 September 2020 A nice upgrade to my favourite picture of Sabby. 25 September 2020 Found a mighty upgrade to this shagpile shot Sabrina in Florida, 1960 .

10 August 2020 Sabrina wrestling champion Ken Irwin 21 April 1958. Why? Who cares? I just want to know who won. 8 August 2020 Barbara got lucky I have no idea why, when, or where this pic was taken. I'm guessing the 1960s. Sabrina and Tony Yeardye, strongman 6 August 2020 Another shot from the time Sabby met comedian Tommy Trinder , circa 1957 And I found a new photo of Sabrina embarking on a tour to Rome and then to Australia in 1958 4 August 2020 An upgraded version of this picture - which I still think is SO creepy.

6 March 2020 Thanks to Tim, we have a supersized pic of Sabrina from Mr Cool magazine, 1960 . Thanks, Tim!
14 Feb 2020 - my first Sabrinasearch for quite some time! It's often said that Sabrina attracted crowds, but it's not until you see pix like this of her in Leeds (date unknown) that her drawing power becomes evident. At the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, December 1958 , visiting sick kiddies. Added an obituary from The Times , 7 October 2017. Watch the newsreel of Sabrina attending Anthea Askey's wedding, 2 March 1956
17 January 2020 Encyclopedia Sabrina is now living at a new web host! Nothing should change for you, but please let me know if you have new problems with the site. |
2019 |
2 October 2019 Thanks to Chris K we have a great upgrade of this pic of Sabrina with Jack Dyer in Oz. 23 September 2019 The first new magazine article for such a long time... Why Sabrina and Jack Davey are such good neighbors - WEEKEND , 21 March 1959 29 August 2019 Some more lovely colour shots, again thanks to Countess Anastasia of Siberia 1 July 2019 From 1957, two colour slides came. They were loving restored by Countess Anastasia of Siberia. 12 April 2019 A new beehive photo, circa 1960 27 March 2019 From The Fort Street Girls' High School Magazine , Vol 5, no.17. October 1959 . p.29 (New South Wales, Australia)
Editorial notes: 'Mascot' is Sydney's international airport. Since Elvis never came to Australia, the claim that Sabrina attended the sports day must also be subject to reasonable doubt! 15 March 2019 A whistful Sabrina I've been adding miscellaneous new photos, particularly from Countess Anastasia in the Ice House movie page . And here's a lovely new pic of Sabrina being seen with flowers, men and a delighted little girl. The caption on the back reads: "Sabrina" (ARTHER [sic] ASKEY discovered her" ) 11 March 2019 Have you ever wanted to see Sabrina sexily smell a flower? Of course you have. You just haven't realised it until now. Your prayer has been answered, thanks to Countess Anastasia. 11 March 2019 Sabrina is fascinated with something. 10 March 2019 A rare happy for a tired Sabrina to sit and relax at Whiteley's Department Store, date unknown. 12 Feb 2019 - a cornucopia of new Sabrinastuff!
A new source I found yesterday tells me this was from 12 May 1955 , not 1958. One step closer to Sabrinatruth! And finally! I found the source of an odd vicar pic that was previously shown in the 'Plays' page because I thought it was from a stage play. But Sabrina apparently (as Miranda) made a TV show - ' You Mitre Guessed ' - with Patrick Cargill (as the butler) which may have been made for Australian ABC TV on 3 October 1964. 30 Jan 2019 Observant Sabrinafans might have noticed that I am not a fan of the beehive hairstyle - even when Sabrina was under it in Las Vegas in 1962. 10 Jan 2019 A new pic of Sabrina conspicuously with Jimmy Young in Hyde Park, 6 August 1955. And I found a new pic for the 'Tatters' series from the Park Lane Hotel event on 24 June 1955. And a full-length version of young Sabrina with her favourite brooch - 5 Jan 1955 2 January 2019 It's amazing that after 19 years, new Sabrinastuff continues to surface occasionally. Here's a lovely portrait of Sabrina smiling. Also, I have upgraded a few pix quietly in the background. You can win valuable Sabrinapoints if you find them :-) And Sabrina combs her hair A Pajama Tops publicity photo was found by Countess Anastasia Arden. Thanks, Countess! An energetic picture of backstage Sabrina during The Pleasures of Paris . I'm not sure whether it was from London or Australia. It's not often that Sabrina is upstaged, but Liberace did it, and Sabby's mum looks delighted to be there. This was probably taken at the aborted Royal Command Performance of 1956 . |
2018 |
17 December 2018 Sabrina - obviously distressed - heads in to court to sue the author and publisher of 'Cinderella Nightingale'.
25 October 2018 A lovely picture of Sabrina singing 17 October 2018 Again, thanks to the dedication of Countess Anastasia of Siberia, we present an amazing find. Thanks, Countess! If only I knew where this video clip came from. (1MB, MP4)
20 September 2018 I can't remember how many times I've been asked, "Do you have a picture of Sabrina riding a baby elephant while carrying a rifle and a camera?" Oh. Now I remember. Zero. Sabrina with Bob Monkhouse and an anonymous beauty queen winner in 1956. Finally found a supersized version of the delightfully moody and seductive shot. Sabrina at the Ascot races , 1957. Added some upgraded pix. 9 September 2018 Found a nice upgrade for this colour covershot 4 September 2018 This is annoying me. I was sure I had this pic already, but I can't find it on the site! Please let me know if it's old. 28 August 2018 - Added the Stockcar movie press kit! 27 August 2018 - Twenty-five years after their divorce, Sabrina's ex-husband, Harold L.Melsheimer brings 'Real Property' legal action against Sabrina and her mother - and apparently 50 other "Does" . The case continued for 3 years until 25 August 2005. See details on the Sabrina In Court page . 6 June 2018 - A fantastic new pic from Countess Anastasia of Siberia. It's quite raunchy for a Sabrina pic, and the scars from her childhood right leg brace seem to be evident. 16 May 2018 - So that's Sabrina - Australasian Post , 26 Dec 2957. A look at how women view Sabrina. 14 May 2018 - My Baby - She's As Good as Gold - By Mrs. Ann Sykes - SABRINA'S MOTHER - Weekend (Australia), 7 March 1959 3 May 2018 - At long last, a new magazine! They gave Sabrina three days to learn three lines! Australasian Post - 9 February 1956. 1 May 2018 - Thanks to Countess Anastasia Arden of Siberia, we have video of Sabby's appearance on the Steve Allen show on 9 March 1958.
25 January 2018 - Sabrina and a lion, probably from Billy Smart's circus.
1 January 2018 - Happy new SabrinaYear. Sadly, without Sabrina. But the Sabrina Encyclopedia never gives up. |
2017 |
31 December 2017 - added two new discoveries of Sabrina radio references from Hancock's Half Hour . 27 December 2017 - in 2016 a certain English broadcasting corporation created a radio show about the legend of Sabrina - the river, its fish, and our girl. I provided the Sabrina song for the programme. Enjoy. You can find more of Sabrina on Radio on the Radio Sabrina page. 27 December 2017 - Listen to Barry Crocker recall his days in Melbourne and Adelaide in the Tivoli with Sabrina - including how he became her manager. 10 October 2017 - Have finally finished adding new findings from U.S. newspapers about Sabrina's life from 1960 onwards . 8 October 2017 - The Times of London has published its obit for Sabrina 30 September 2017 - Countess Anastasia of Siberia discovered this familiar image being used to sell stickers in Russia in 2017. Do you recognise the lady or the ad ? 28 September 2017 - Tried to clear up the confusion between the Sheffield Riot Incident and the Birkenhead dress-ripping Incident , which have been conflated and confused by several contemporary sources. Also, converted the Breast Insurance picture page into a Sabrina Incident page. 13 September 2017 - I am collecting dozens of newspaper articles from a British newspaper archive. Also this, from Suzie: Thanks to Suzie for this great reminder of how Sabrina took care of her fans. 4 September 2017 Sadly, I had to announce that Sabrina died on 24 November 2016. You may want to visit and maybe contribute to the Tributes page . 30 August 2017 Another great find by Countess Anastasia of Siberia . Thank you, dear Countess! Sabrina was always clear on the 'baby' question. 22 August 2017 Wellington Uni, New Zealand. On 14 September 1959 the student magazine 'Salient' invoked Sabrina's name and urged uni chancellors to 'keep abreast of the times'. And found a good upgrade to this classic And a new find, to be added to the Sabrina in Lace picture page And finally for today, probably not the finest of Sabrina's photos, but it was taken and that's what counts. 15 August 2017 Another great find by Countess Anastasia of Siberia . Some Sabrina side-boob... 21 July 2017 - Countess Anastasia of West Siberia sent some more great pix of Sabrina in Melbourne in 1959. 17 March 2017 - newly-found pix of Sabrina being seen at Lee's Theatre Restaurant in Kensington, Sydney, 27 April 1959 13 March 2017 - more of the Brisbane pix from September 1959 21 February 2017 - Hold onto your bonnets, for we present a long-lost programme for The Sabrina Show from 1959 at the Theatre Royal in Brisbane.

You will need to click the thumbnail to appreciate the Peeping Tom with his head poking through the venetian blinds! |
2016 |
20 Dec 2016 If you love Satan In High Heels and want to read the novelisation, it's on eBay for only $US40... 16 Dec 2016 Compiled a page for The Curious Incident of Sabrina's 19 inch metal belt .
15 Dec 2016 Ongoing picture file renaming will be breaking more old stored links to the site. 5 Dec 2016 From '66' magazine #22 (August 1957) 25 Oct 2016 - Thanks to Tim we have a sultry, atmospheric al fresco shot of Sabrina from 'Photographing Glamour" from 1959. Also, I present this amazing shot that bears no resemblance to any other Sabrina photoshoot. |
11-23 October 2016 Another day, another MAJOR site restructure. All old stored links to pictures will now be broken. Sorry 'bout that, but after 16 years, the site needed a major overhaul. What was neat and logical in a one-page site in 2000 does not work so well in a multi-thousand picture site in 2016. Many files have been renamed and reorganised. 19 September 2016 I've finally started a mass-rename of files that had previously been named using the name of the source magazine (e.g. "scope1958-sabrina-eating"). Early on, grouping files by source used to make sense, but now with 2,568 photos it makes it hard to search for duplicates and related photos. Expect some old links to fail starting... now. 24 August 2016 An Australian is selling a 16mm copy of Sabrina's Caltex TV ad for $100 on eBay. 22 August 2016 Sabrina speaks at the Savoy, April 10th 1956 14 August 2016 A new player on the " Sabrina With... " page - Victor Rogers . 4 July 2016 - Dedicated Philip G sent a new photo from 1955, related to one in the Beauty Parade magazine article .

A colour poster for POP in London 8 June 2016 - BREAKING NEWS (from 1959) : Sabrina Bungled It at Bondi Beach - Sabrina disrespects Bondi Beach and prefers St Kilda Beach! 23 May 2016 - In 1956, this unauthorised reference must be to our Sabrina. 19 May 2016 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SABRINA! Let's face it. If you were Twiggy fans celebrating her 67th birthday in September, you'd all be starving after a Twiggy cake. 17 May 2016 - Long-time Sabrinafan First Class Anastasia of Mother Russia sent this electronic card for Sabrina's big birthday. 15 May 2016 - "With feathers in her hair, on on her dress - lovely SABRINA is pictured on her arrival for last night's [7 Nov 1956] premiere of the film "Moby Dick" - at the Warner Theatre." Damn, I bet those feathers tickled some fancies that night... 13 May 2016 - A big surprise for Sabrina's big birthday - colour film of Sabrina's appearance at Point Leo Surf Club in 1959 . Woohoo! Many thanks to Adrian R for the unique film. 11 May 2016 Warning! Sabrina's big birthday takes place in ONE week! 27 April 2016 - Sabrina's (cough) eightieth (cough) birthday is on May 19 . Feel free to send your birthday messages to her . 6 April 2016 - Thanks to Tim we have a new, mega-sized pic of Sabrina, possibly in Rome 1958. It came from 'Famous Photographers Photograph Beautiful Women (1963)'. Thanks, Tim! |
4 April 2016 - Thanks to Antoni, we have another book that refers to Sabrina - this one recalling events from 1953. How accurate the author's memory is... who's to say? |
9 March 2016 - Found some new primary evidence about Sabrina's 1962 visit... LEE GORDON (ON BEHALF OF PERRIN PRODUCTIONS) BOBBY RYDELL, CHUBBY CHECKER, DEL SHANNON, DIANE JAN 13 BRISBANE, FESTIVAL HALL (X 3) 13 Feb 2016 - Philip wrote to say - I've just been writing an article about Sabrina for http://www.aenigma-images.com. Encyclopedia Sabrina has been a totally invaluable source and of course I've linked to in the article. I have scans of all the photos featured. Let me know if you'd like any of them. Best wishes, Philip.
13 Feb 2016 - I am realising how primitive some of my Sabrina videos are - especially those edited over a decade ago when the technology was very different, hard disk space was expensive, bandwidth was tight, and WMV was all the rage. One day soon, I'll edit new versions of my videos from the mastercopies. 9 Jan 2016 - Two new pix kindly sent by Steve Page. 8 January 2016 Some actual news. The BBC got in touch. They are making a programme for radio 4 that references Sabrina, and needed to get hold of a copy of her song 'Persuade Me' for the programme because the BBC's vinyl copy "seems to have gone missing." I sent the producer my best quality copy, so when you hear the song on the radio,you can think of Sabrinastuff ! 1 January 2016 Happy New Sabrina! |
2015 |
3 November 2015 Conducted a massive and thorough cleansing of ill-formed HTML. It's embarrassing how many pages were crippled by bad global edits over the decades. It's not surprising, considering that the first pages were created using Netscape Composer fifteen years ago. With any luck, some troublesome pages are now readable. Please let me know if pages are not working (be sure to identify the exact page) - I often can't see errors at my end! 2 November 2015 Lyndie sent this lovely pic of her father Stan Love and Sabrina at The Bay Hotel, Pevensey Bay, Sussex, circa 1957. Hopefully we might get a larger copy later. 31 October 2015 During Easter 1956, Sabby appeared on a cruise ship across the Bristol Channel. There's a clip of people's memories of this nautical naughtiness . 1 October 2015 New pix and upgraded newsreel of Sabrina attending the reopening of the Granada Cinema in 1957. Click the pic to visit the page 30 September 2015 23 September 2015 A stern man measures the chestical regions of our Sabrina. The cad! 26 April 2015 Sabrina's (cough-cough- seventy-ninth -cough) birthday is on 19 May 2015 , and she's not feeling too chipper these days. You might care to leave her a birthday message at the Sabrina feedback form , and I'll forward them to her. 26 April 2015 Good news everybody! This site has been officially approved by the hallowed University of Sabrina ! O - I haven't mentioned the University of Sabrina yet, have I? I might do something about that later. 25 April 2015 - I have regained the sabrinastuff.com domain, which now redirects here. Feel free to use that URL if you prefer. 3 April 2015 - This site began 15 years ago with primitive, clumsy and incompetent HTML skills (hell, half the pages were created with the HTML editor in Netscape Communicator !), and proudly continues that tradition of careless, skill-free page mangling. Lately, however, I have been trying to drag myself out of this cesspit of unmanageable code to streamline things somewhat, particularly through CSS. Please forgive site peculiarities while I discover what works and what does not. 3 March 2015 - 1959 veterinary students disrespect our Sabrina! 27 Feb 2015 - Found a 2015 reference to our Sabrina on the New York Times ! 26 Feb 2015 - Sabrina knew how to arrange a bedroom! 24 Feb 2015 - Frankie Howerd and Sabrina in a TV show about astronomy? Believe it or not, it was pitched to the BBC. Read the excerpt from the book. 24 Feb 2015 - created the Mysteries page, for which help is requested. 24 Feb 2015 - augmented the New Zealand photo page with just-discovered pix from NZ. 23 Feb 2015 - I am processing recent contributions from Alan Moore and other Sabrinafans. Like these rare colour shots... 8 Jan 2015 - a brand new year photo - possibly from her South American period. 1 January 2015 - Found this 'unknown girl'. (Click to enlarge the pic). Iit has all the busty hallmarks of our Sabrina. What do you think? The verdict was "No!" |
2014 |
30 October 2014 My copy of Sabrina's single arrived - 10", 78 RPM in pristine condition! Of course I've had to buy a USB turntable to play and rip the thing. D'oh! 19 October 2014 This may be the holy grail and final hoorah of collecting Sabrina stuff. Finally I have got a copy of Sabrina's vinyl single featuring Persuade Me and A Man Not a Mouse . Not only did I finally grab one after 2 earlier failed attempts, not only is it in excellent condition, but it is the 10 inch pressing of which I had not heretofore known existed. Yay me! August - September 2014 A new little magazine article - Most Popular TV Star , Modern Man , June 1956, thanks to Sir Tim. 3 September 2014 - And I've finished adding all of the new Sabrinastuff I gathered throughout 2014, what little there was. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any information or resources, but otherwise it's time for the site to hibernate again for a while. I get so - sleepy... and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. 29 August 2014 - A copy of Sabrina's vinyl single appeared on eBay again. Unfortunately it got away again, since I could only afford to bid $AU100. There's some passionate Sabrina collector out there who is not me! 18 August 2014 - Created a new Sabrina Collectibles page to gather Sabrina signed photos etc. Under construction. 18 August 2014 - Added new pix of Sabrina in NZ, kindly provided by the Rotarua Museum. 11 August 2014 - Created a new picture page just for New Zealand Kiwi Sabrinafans ! 10 August 2014 - In response to the recent anonymous correspondent who wrote, "Isn't there a reference in Peter Sellers' "Song for Swinging Sellers" album? i.e. Too old for Mother Goose... too young for Sabrina." Sadly, research indicates it was Lolita, and not Sabrina for whom Peter was pining. 18 July 2014 - Updated the site with Sabrina on the Late Show, Melbourne 1958 and some new pix. 20 Feb 2014 - Out of retirement again. I've got word from a nice lad Aaron who says he "went to an estate sale and found many items of historical value. My understanding was that the owner of the house worked for the United States consulate in Sydney, Australia." I have received original documents of Norma Ann Sykes applying for an immigrant visa to the United States. This appears to be from April 3rd 1962. It is complete with a copy of the birth certificate, a multi-colored United States of America stamp and a raised seal stamp from the consulate. Also on the paper is her picture and her signature as Norma Ann Sykes." And he'll send copies to the Sabrinasite! That will be interesting! 20 Feb 2014 - a 1964 pic of Sabrina at the Knottingley Carnival in Yorkshire. Thanks to Jon. 8 January 2014 - a rare treat in these days of site retirement... the Phantom Gunslinger has landed - in Bluray, no less! I have edited it down to the essential Sabrinabits and you will find the link on the Phantom Gunslinger page. |
3 December 2013 - maybe the last piece of news: The Phantom Gunslinger is coming out on DVD on 10 Dec. A Great Christmas Idea! As the last unfound item in my thirteen-year treasure hunt, this is a big moment. Check out a winceful preview here. 18 October 2013 - 2:33pm. I am done. I have posted the last of the Sabrinastuff that I have gathered in the past few months. There is no new material appearing from the web, or from Sabrina. It's a pity she never got around to sending any more of her career scrapbooks. Goodnight all, and please think of Sabrina every so often: she's still alive, and living a quietly gorgeous life in Hollywood. Regards, 18 Oct 2013 - I'm tidying up left-over materials I haven't posted yet, including new Greetings photos, upgrading photos with better quality finds, and adding a new article . 8 August 2013 - the end of the road. Due to the lack of contact from Sabrina, and the the lack of new Sabrinastuff, the site will be mothballed. It will stay online, but I'm not chasing new material. Please feel free to send startling new finds, but after 13 years I think the quest is finished. Thanks to all contributors. Mark. 16 April 2013 - added scans of new glossy photos featuring Sabrina with a budgie, and Sabrina with her dog Shane 9 April 2013 - upgraded several photos, and added a new Sabrina and her Mum picture page . 17-18 Feb 2013 - Another major site reconstruction. Spent 2 days fixing 500 broken links. Just about every deep link you have stored will now be broken! Please use the index pages to find your Sabrinastuff. 14 January 2013 - An extract from Cinderella Nightingale , the novel that Sabrina sued for libel. And the offending passage in the novel. 3 January 2013 - Two more pieces of social commentary on Sabrina from books. |
2012 |
31 Dec 2012 - W.M. Hutson's grandson, Jonathan, sent a great photo of Hut and Sabrina and the portrait referred to in the 66 magazine of 1955!

HTML and media are now separated, allowing easier site synching . 23 May 2012 - Created the Sabrina at a Piano page 22 May 2012 - An article on Sabrina in the Otago Daily News in New Zealand, by a journalist who ransacks my site for information and couldn't be bothered acknowledging his sources. 25 April 2012 - Cleaned out the 'New Pix' page and got around to posting the last of the unprocessed pix that have accumulated over the past uneventful year. Not a lot to do now. Mothballing is nearly finished, but I'll still happily accept contributions of Sabrinastuff. 27 Feb 2012 - After a flurry of activity last November, the flood of Sabrinastuff has again disappeared. I'm still hoping Sabrina will send another of her scrapbooks, but until then the site sits and twiddles its thumbs... |

This makes it really hard to synchronise files if you can't see half the files in there. I've had to break up the 'p' (picture) directory into 3 directories, so old Sabrina picture links you have to my site will no longer work. Apologies. On the positive side, the new hosting plan gives me unlimited bandwidth and disk space. 20 Feb 2011 - This is fascinating. Have a look at these Sabrina photo auctions on eBay - they are currently battling at over $80 each! I'm lucky I grabbed the first in the series for $25. See here and here .

And a new one is flying out the door at $78 and rising! 6 Feb 2011 - Finally, some evidence that Sabrina did go to New Zealand! |
