Kittson also performed Love Letters with Glynn Nicholas for the Melbourne Arts Festival and revisited the role in 2003 at the Noosa Arts and Cultural Festival with the late Campbell McComas.
In the late 1980s, Delahunty—then the chief newsreader for the ABC in Victoria—was parodied by comedian Jean Kittson on the popular TV comedy series The Big Gig, where Kittson portrayed a snobbish, acid-tongued announcer called Veronica Glenhuntly (whose surname was taken from that of the elite Melbourne suburb).
In town is the Kittson Trading Post, established by Norman Kittson, an American Fur Company agent, in 1843.
