Hi Everyone

I have not been able to find any reliable report confirming Carlotta's death.  A City of Belmont event listing advertised her show in Perth for 9 August 2026, which is evidence against the rumour. though an event listing alone does not prove she appeared. 

So, based on the information after an extensive search of news websies.  Carlotta's death as reported on Faceback is false, as far as I can tell, I would never put much faith in what Facebook has to say.  Disclaimer: I do not use Facebook.  Carlotta is also known as Carol Spencer; according to the National Portrait Gallery, who identifies her by that name.

I saw Carlotta perform in Kings Cross, Sydney several times.  Some good memories there.

Best Wishes Always

I looked around as well, Carlotta is such an icon of Australian entertainment, particularly around kings Cross in Sydney, her passing would surely make the news nationally. I rarely believe reports on social media as it is largely unregulated and all for clicks.
