Suzanne Bennett (stage name, was born Suzanne Evans) was an Australian-born actress on Broadway in the United States. After her August 30, 1929 marriage to the celebrated explorer Sir George Hubert Wilkins, she was known as Lady Hubert Wilkins. She died in 1975, and her ashes were scattered at the North Pole from USS ''Bluefish'' on 4 May 1975, as were her husband's from USS ''Skate'' in 1959. Suzanne Evans took the name Bennett from her 1915 marriage to 20-year-old soldier, Pvte Oscar Bennett (AIF service number 381). At the time she was living in St. Kilda. Pvte. Bennett survived the war, returning to Australia in 1919 but clearly the marriage did not last and by 1923, Suzanne was in New York looking for work on Broadway. Prior to her departure she had stage experience, first in the chorus of the Rigo Grand Opera Company, and later with Hugh D. McIntosh's productions. Ms. Bennett and her illustrious explorer husband were sufficiently famous to warrant a marriage announcement in the September 9, 1929 issue of Time Magazine. There it was reported that the famous Australian couple had wed in Cleveland, Ohio. That notice also credits Ms. Bennett with having appeared on stage in "Vanities" and "The Cyclone Lover". The couple met on June 20, 1928, in New York City during a reception honoring Wilkins after his famed flight over the Arctic Sea. The couple had no children during their twenty nine years of marriage.
