Biography

Norman Yemm was born in 1933 in Elsternwick, Victoria. He has an identical twin brother, Gordon who is a professional musician and shares Norman's success on the track and as a performer.

"An actor’s greatest attribute is to have a good memory, but I've always had a bad one." That didn’t stop him from working that much harder to remember his lines on stage and screen, and it was some old-fashioned blood, sweat and tears that brought the brothers their success. He has three children; his daughter Jodie Yemm is an actress.
