"All the Talk about Evelyn" with Sarah Farr
Susan Farr will be discussing researching her upcoming book on the case of Evelyn Dick. You may have seen the 2002 film, Torso, which won a Gemini award for Best TV Movie or Dramatic Mini-Series. According to IMDb, "the 1946/1947 murder trial of young and beautiful Evelyn Dick remains the most lurid murder case in Canadian history."
An experienced teacher, she enjoys sharing her enthusiasm for art history with people who, like her, want to learn more about the diverse, sometimes puzzling, objects they encounter in art galleries and museums.
Farr grew up in East Anglia, UK, and moved to Australia in her twenties. While living in Sydney, NSW, she worked for News Corp. in the advertising department. She became fascinated by the hustle and bustle of the newspaper world, took an in-house journalism course offered by her employer, and realized her love of storytelling.
After leaving Australia and moving to Hamilton in 2005, Farr became avidly engaged in the city's history--in particular, the story of Evelyn Dick. Not satisfied with the story told in previously published works, she set off on a mission to fill in the blanks and discover the lesser-known tales of Mrs. Evelyn Dick. You may be surprised by what she's uncovered. Sarah runs the Facebook page The Evelyn Dick Files. Her book-in-progress, to be published in 2026, examines Canada's infamous femme fatale.
