What does "AM" mean?

edit

The first line read:

June Salter AM (June 22, 1932 – September 15, 2001) was an Australian actress.

I don't know what AM means here, and it linked to AM (a disambiguation page). Therefore, I'm removing it. When someone knows what it refers to, please replace it with a link to the appropriate (unambiguous) page. –RHolton19:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

AM is an Australian Honours Award: it stands for Member of the Order of Australia. More information available on the internet.

Birthplace

We're saying she was born in Renmark, SA, yet our one and only source (IMdB) says Bexley, NSW. -- JackofOz (talk) 03:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Salter family lived in Bexley, NSW before moving to Brighton-le-Sands in the mid-1930s [see NSW, Australia electoral rolls]. I learnt elocution from the same teacher as June: we appeared in the same end-of-year elocution concerts, and attended the same school-where June often performed for us during assemblies and concerts. Her talent was recognized very early. I have been unable to find the elocution teacher on the electoral rolls: I know her name phonetically; it may have been a given name.Whipstick (talk) 23:57, 30 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
