She brought good posture and good manners to Australia, a herculean task but vital for those who aspired to the finer things of life. Those who didn't weren't worth bothering about. June Skewes was born in June 1927, the illegitimate child of Caroline May Skewes. (She met and gave the cold shoulder to her father, businessman Bob Monkton, later in life. He died on Good Friday, 1990.) June Dally-Watkins died peacefully in her sleep on Saturday night.Credit:Fairfax Media Her mother married Major David Dally-Watkins, a sales representative for Penfolds wines, who adopted her daughter, who then became June Marie Dally-Watkins. Dally-Watkins, Australia's etiquette queen, died on Saturday night at the age of 92, her family said.Advertisement
Her story starts in Watsons Creek, Tamworth, where she attended Watson's Creek Public School. At the age of 15, she and her mother moved to Sydney, where she went to Willoughby Girls' High School. June Dally-Watkins in 1949.Credit:Max Dupain (1911-1992) Leaving at 16, Dally-Watkins' stunning good looks put her on the road to fashion, an early assignment earning her 10 shillings and 6 pence for modelling a hat in Farmers department store. Her future seemed quite giddy-making for a teenager, yet, while she nursed ambitions to be a mail order catalogue model, her mother, a powerful influence on her life until she died in 1975, encouraged her to open her own modelling class – a more lucrative pursuit. But first she was named Australia's model of the year in 1949. With that accolade under her belt, she took the plunge, and in 1950 opened the June Dally-Watkins School of Deportment. She borrowed a space from a photographer friend but it soon proved too small for her meticulous method of teaching the mysterious ways of sashaying on the catwalk and the secrets of posing for the camera, to say nothing of make-up tricks and the palaver of hair arrangements. She moved to larger premises in the Grand United Building on Castlereagh Street in Sydney and, later still, to the Dymocks building on George Street. Finally, the school moved to 210 Clarence Street, where it still operates. Dally-Watkins' first newspaper and magazine ads read like a call to arms, the call being, "Every woman has a right to be beautiful" and, for a few guineas, she could be that, whatever her shape, size, hair or skin colour or demeanour. The business flourished but Dally-Watkins always said she was not in it to make money (which she did plentifully); she was in it because she loved it. In 1951 she saw a new business opportunity and opened the first model agency in the southern hemisphere, establishing the careers of many top-notch fashion models and, over the years, launching 18 pageant queens from Miss New South Wales to Miss World and Miss Universe. In the 1970s, she introduced a Men's Executive Course to turn timid males into confident gentlemen. She deplored the general lack of good manners in Australian males. "They behave like animals," she said, but not tongue-in-cheek. Then she realised another corner of the lifestyle market (though not labelled thus in those days) was there for her to conquer: the problem of etiquette. Or, how to behave properly for the career-minded men and women launching into the cut-throat world of business. So it was, in 1988 she opened the June Dally-Watkins Business Finishing College. Students at the June Dally-Watkins School of Modelling in Sydney on 1966. Credit:Noel Stubbs A gamut of social niceties waited to be mastered such as how to behave on formal occasions, how to hold one's knife and fork, how to answer the telephone, when to send flowers to one's hostess, letters of thanks etc. In particular for men: which side of the street to walk with a girl, how to help her into the car, learn the art of door-holding (the subject of sex was avoided). For the most part, men signed up for book-keeping, computers, accountancy. She could be forthright and her name was synonymous with perfection. In the '70s, at a Double Bay fashion show of the couturier Gres collection, she leapt out and snatched a length of cotton from a disobedient hemline, crying "We can't have that!" to a round ofaudience applause.
And at her desk she sat ramrod, impeccably dressed, hair groomed, make-up flawless, morning to night, a superb example of the product she aimed to turn out with the guidance of Miss Dally, as her students affectionately called her. Two years after launching the Sydney branch, it grew like topsy and she opened in Brisbane at Edward Street next to the famous Shingle Inn, then she expanded into New Zealand, Hong Kong, tip-toeing into China, lecturing in the Philippines and all over Australia. June Dally-Watkins in her Austin A90 Atlantic Hollywood beckoned, staging Australian fashion to much acclaim from the stars of stage and screen who seemed besotted by this outspoken good-looking sheila from Down Under. She, in turn, was mesmerised by the number of agencies slicker than hers and wasted no time picking up tips to improve her operation. It was astonishing that a woman with so much empire to control (she was named businesswoman of the year in 1988) should find the time to marry, which she did after converting to Catholicism, age 27, in June 1953, to naval officer John Clifford from Sydney. It was a fruitfulpartnership.
They had four children, Carel, Timothy, Marc and Lisa, but the union was not to last. In 1968 they divorced. Her hectic work ethic at a time when wives stayed home to cosset hubby proved too much.RELATED ARTICLE
GOOD WEEKEND
CHINA'S CRAZE FOR ETIQUETTE QUEEN JUNE DALLY-WATKINSAdd to shortlist
There was no publicity which every other aspect of Miss Dally's career received. It had lasted 15 years and that was that. Unlike the other big romance in her life, with Gregory Peck, probably the most handsome actor in his day who, in 1952, while filming _Roman Holiday_ in Italy met and invited her to accompany him to Paris. She turned him down, to her regret, she confessed later. There he met Veronique Passani, who became his wife. At his death in 2003 Dally-Watkins was much-quoted on their whirlwind liaison, the publicity enormous. Then 25, she said it was the happiest time of her life, and one can understand why. Gregory Peck oozed charm andpolished manners.
But Miss Dally-Watkins was not given to 'what if's in her life. She persevered with her goal of making Australia a polite and wellturned-out nation.
Her list of 'no-no's included no elastic bands around pony tails, no black bras under white shirts, no "yeah", "yup" or "eh?" No knife and fork incorrectly on the side of the plate. No eating with the mouth open. As many as 300,000 students passed through her tutelage. In 1993, Dally-Watkins was awarded an OAM and at this point tried to retire, but it was impossible. Forever the workaholic, in 1995 she became ambassador-at-large of Crossroads International charity, travelling globally, and in 2002 she published her autobiography _The Secrets Behind My Smile_. Then, a bizarre career change. At 79 she became a politician, scoring second place in Reverend Fred Nile's Christian Democratic Party, giving her a slim chance to win a seat in the NSW upper house elections in 2007. Too slim, as it turned out. It was not to be. Dally-Watkins died peacefully on Saturday night with her loved ones by her side, her family said. She is survived by her children and sevengrandchildren.
