Award-winning Kiwi actor Robyn Malcolm is working in New Orleans — and celebrating the colour she painted her Auckland home.
Last year, the former Outrageous Fortune matriarch did a bright and bold job on the interiors of her Kingsland home of 10 years.
"Until work picks up, paying a painter is out of the question," she told NZ House & Garden magazine. "I'm an unemployed actor now, maybe it's not too hard to paint your own house."

Earlier this year she did pay for painters and their creative brief was for vibrant, New Orleans-style colours, such as the tones of the city's signature houses. The actress was thrilled with the result.
