For actor Heather Mitchell and cinematographer Martin McGrath the course of true love didn’t exactly run smooth: she said no the first time he proposed thetwoofus GoodWeekendMag love

Actor Heather Mitchell, 62, and cinematographer Martin McGrath, 65, met on a film set in Broken Hill in 1989. They started dating soon after, but the course of true love didn’t exactly run smooth: she said no the first time he proposed.Louise KennerleyIn early 1989, I saw a clairvoyant who told me I was about to meet my guardian angel and that I’d be surrounded by silver. Shortly after, I flew to Broken Hill [in far west NSW] to do a short film,. Marty picked me up at the airport.

“We’ve always given each other the licence to say yes to anything. He’s so proud of me and my work; even if he doesn’t love a show, he’ll think that I’m fabulous in it.”When I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2004, Marty was an enormous support. I had three surgeries, then chemo and radiation. We were both out of work, which was incredibly stressful, especially for him. At one point I felt he was distancing himself from me and I became critical of him.

Once we returned to Sydney and started dating, I was determined not to let her go. In 1990, I flew up to Sydney from Melbourne for her birthday to propose. I wasn’t daunted by her saying no. I just thought, “I’ll work my soft magic, be as attentive as ever, and I won’t mention marriage again.” The second proposal was prompted by Heather wanting to know if the marriage offer was still out there somewhere.
