A publicity image of Winifred Atwell listening to an old gramophone.
Having gained international attention as a piano virtuoso, Winifred toured the world extensively, building a keen fan base along the way. Her popularity peaked in 1955 when she broke box-office records during her Australian tour, making her the highest-paid star from a Commonwealth country to visit Australia.
