Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on January 17, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Ita! From pioneering Cleo magazine to steering the Australian Women's Weekly with unmatched flair, you've always known how to grab headlines—and hearts. Your fearless journalism and iconic style have inspired generations of Australians (and made us all secretly wish we could rock a power suit half as well).

Whether you're championing important causes or charming audiences on TV screens nationwide, your wit remains sharper than ever—proving age is just another headline you effortlessly rewrite. Here's hoping this birthday brings laughter louder than newsroom deadlines and celebrations brighter than glossy covers.

Cheers to more groundbreaking stories ahead!
