Margot Hilton
Margot Hilton (born 1947) is an Australian author.
Hilton was born in London and graduated from the University of Leeds with a BA English Hons (1971) and an MA Drama & Theatre Arts (1972). She visited Australia in 1974 becoming an Australian citizen in 1983. She has worked as the inaugural Drama Officer for the Victorian Ministry for the Arts, Executive Officer Australian Society of Authors, inaugural Executive Secretary Victorian Premier's Literature Awards, Publicity Manager for Angus & Robertson, Producer TV Channel Ten "Til Ten with Joan McInnes" and Project Officer, Literature Board Australia Council. She has written film scripts, speeches, songs and articles, as well as several books.
She was married for 18 years to Graeme Blundell, with whom she has two children. She co-wrote an unauthorised autobiography of Brett Whiteley with Graeme Blundell, published in 1996, which initiated the breakdown of their marriage. During this period, in response to Blundell's serial adultery, as Graeme Blundell put it, she "...ran off with (Michael Driscoll) the person that, 20 years earlier, Whiteley's then wife Wendy Whiteley had also run off with."[1] She has not re-married and lives in Sydney.
She joined the Sydney Jewish Museum as a volunteer guide and writer in 1998.
