All that Glitters is a 1939 Australian radio serial starring Shirley Ann Richards by Lorna Bingham. It was one of Bingham's first serials and a rare starring radio vehicle for Richards who was better known as a film star.[1]
It replaced the serial One Man's Family. Richards made it after Dad and Dave Come to Town and before Come Up Smiling.
Rehearsals started in November 1938.
The fortunes of Pamela Blackwood (Shirley Ann Richards), whose parents were killed in an air crash when she was a child, and who has a burning ambition to be an actress. She has a jealous rival, Jane (Doreen Mackay).
Wireless Weekly wrote Richards played the role "very sweet... but I couldn’t help feeling that there was some truth in the words of her hated rival to the effect that Pamela “was so milk and watery that she just didn’t register at all.” I kept wishing that Pam would stop being so forgiving and work up a good old hate against someone."
