Her parents separated when Justine was eight months old, so Beverley was essentially a single mother with Len a distant figure in the background of Justine's childhood. I think they tried to get back together a few times and they never fought.
They just didn't work, being together. They stayed friends. They were very respectful of each other. We are sitting in Justine's family home with youngest son Max upstairs and rescue dog Benny curled up in a patch of sun by the door to the backyard. Before we started chatting, seizing the opportunity to multi-task, Justine hastily gathered her family's freshly-dried clothes from the outdoor line into a laundry basket which is now by her side.
As she talks, she folds. But when the topic of her father comes up Justine pauses, deep in thought. They were older and Mum's very independent and I think it was the era when men weren't involved so much in the day-to-day family life. They went to golf and to work and Mum realised that she was raising us on her own anyway. So, they separated and we left. Interview continues after video. When they were back in Sydney, Justine says she and Vanessa would see their dad once a week or perhaps it was once a month.
He was Lennie. We'd have dinner with him at Pinocchio's at the Cross, which was near where he worked … I do have a couple of very strong images of Mum and Dad as a couple with me as a little girl. Another is of them walking ahead of me and they were holding hands. But that's it. In her 20s Justine felt a need to connect with her father.
I wanted to know who he was and I wanted to know 'why wouldn't you have stayed? It just didn't make sense to me, but I understand it now. When I ask if Justine liked what she found, her eyes twinkle. He had a lot of friends and he made a lot of people happy. He had a really good sense of humour and you had a laugh when you were with Dad. That sense of celebrating life was something both parents shared and passed on to Justine.
Her mum is "hilarious and back then was a real clown," she says laughing. For the last five years of his life Lennie came to live with Justine and her family.
He died 11 weeks after youngest Max was born. It was a special time for everyone and when I ask if this late reunion with her father made her feel she had missed out in her childhood, again she pauses.
I didn't miss him because I didn't know what I was missing. I didn't ever think, 'oh I wish I had a father', because I didn't know what it was to have one who was present and interested. I can see the benefits of it. I can see now what I had to teach myself or learn through life experience, that you can see Jack's teaching her now.
That would have been so good for me as a child. Justine's childhood was mostly about acting. We thought we were pretty funny," she chuckles. At the age of seven Justine landed her first professional job. They got me to say 'Willesee's at six' which was cute and funny. Bear biscuits' commercial where I got to do a cartwheel and eat a biscuit. As a really little girl I remember thinking it was pretty fun.
