Australian actress Noni Hazlehurst, 71, is carefully pushed through Sydney Airport on a wheelchair after disembarking the plane
Noni Hazlehurst was pushed through Sydney Airport in a wheelchair as she flew into the city on Monday.
The Australian actress, 71, was driven through the airport by airline staff after getting off the plane.
The former Playschool star was dressed casually for the flight in navy blue trousers and a matching colored shirt.
She completed her look with a pair of comfortable gray shoes and wore a colorful necklace.
After collecting her luggage and driving to the front of the airport, Noni was helped by staff as she walked to the arrivals hall and waited for a driver.
The sighting comes after Noni revealed in her new memoir Dropping the Mask how tricky it can be to shoot a sex scene for a movie.
While she is perhaps best known for her role on Playschool, appearing as a host on the show from 1978 to 2001, Noni has also enjoyed a legendary film and television acting career.
One of her most beloved big-screen roles is in the 1982 film Monkey Grip, in which she stars alongside Colin Friels, 72.

The film, based on a novel by acclaimed Australian author Helen Garner, features some rather racy scenes between the actors and now Noni has revealed what exactly goes on behind the scenes.
In an exclusive extract published on news.com.au, Noni revealed that although she and Colin brought the screen to a head in the film, all was not as it seemed.
Noni recalled a steamy scene in which Colin had to kiss her “up and down my upper body” and while the end result was “sensual and tenderly romantic,” the piping told a different story.

‘With no music to enhance the scene, all we could hear was the strange slurping sound [director] Ken Cameron’s voice carries us through the action,” she said.
“Slower Colin, hang there for a while, don’t eat her, be gentle, put that thing in your mouth again with your fingers Noni, slower Colin, go up, go down, too rough, move to the side, slower Colin” and so forth.”
‘It was very funny.’
She added that all of the film’s sex scenes were shot on the same day, adding to the awkwardness, although a crew member offered a new solution.

“The first assistant offered a closed set and the crew could be naked too, but the thought of about forty dicks waving in my eyeline was enough to put me off sex for life,” she admitted.
The awkwardness didn’t stop there either: Noni shared how director Ken Cameron instructed her on-screen love interest on how to perform on camera.
Noni’s list of TV credits includes Division 4, The Sullivans, The Shiralee, City Homicide and A Place to Call Home.
