Mark Leonard Winter says he witnessed Rush touch Norvill in King Lear performance and claimed he made ‘jokey gesture’ over her
Geoffrey Rush “cupped” Eryn Jean Norvill’s breast while on stage during a 2015 production of King Lear, a fellow cast member has said.
Norvill is the actor whose complaint about Rush’s behaviour is at the centre of the Oscar-winning actor’s defamation case against Sydney newspaper the Daily Telegraph.
The criticism escalated sharply after reports this week that an investigation into Mr. Zinke had been referred to the Justice Department, a potential prelude to a criminal investigation.

Melbourne artist Lynn Savery has won the $150,000 Doug Moran prize for her self-portrait
An unknown Melbourne artist, Lynn Savery, said she “really thought she was going to faint” after winning the $150,000 Doug Moran national portrait prize, for a self-portrait which she says aims to challenge “socially constructed” gender norms.
The 58-year-old artist from East Kew has been a full-time carer until recently, and was unknown before Thursday morning’s announcement; she has no artist website, and has not entered a painting prize before. This is her first oil painting and her first portrait, but she has “dabbled in drawing and other things,” she told Guardian Australia.
