Suzie Wilks Wows US Bosses
Suzie Wilks Wows US Bosses Stateside
From Sydney Confidential
We hope the lumberjack boots and denim hotpants don't make the journey with her, but another star of Channel 9's old lifestyle line-up - Suzie Wilks - has got her foot in the door of US television.Following in the Blundstones of green thumb Jamie Durie, the former Changing Rooms babe is poised to make the change to American TV, after successful meetings with media giant CBS.
Wilks arrived back last week after a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles where it is understood she met numerous producers.
The Barbie-styled presenter is reportedly under consideration for two new shows in the US, which could lead her to crossing continents like Durie, who now divides his screen time between Australia on Channel 7 and regular appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the US.
The international gigs would prove a fix-it for Wilks's local TV career which has been flagging since her home renovation show was axed three years ago.
Her appearance as the fantasy woman in a Holden commercial this year drew pot shots from feminists, including controversial academic Germaine Greer, who called on the windows of the car manufacturer to be smashed in over the portrayal.
But Wilks defended the gig, firing back at Greer, claiming her role was connected to her "handyperson" image.
"I think I've been a role model for women. I get out there and renovate houses and use power tools."
