About Sir Warwick Oswald Fairfax

Sir Warwick Oswald Fairfax (19 December 1901 – 14 January 1987) was an Australian businessman prominent in the arts as a philanthropist, journalist and playwright. He was a member of the wealthy Fairfax family of media proprietors.

Fairfax was the son of James Oswald Fairfax (1863–1928) and great-grandson of John Fairfax. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts at Balliol College, Oxford after studying at Geelong Grammar and the University of Sydney (where he was resident at St. Paul's College).

In 1928, Fairfax married Marcie Elizabeth (Betty) Wilson, the daughter of David Wilson KC and the niece of William Hardy Wilson. They had two children, James Oswald Fairfax (junior) and Caroline, before their divorce in 1945. Fairfax married Hanne Anderson in 1948 and they had one daughter, Annalise, before divorcing in 1959. He married Mary Wein just after midnight on 4 July 1959. She had also been known as Marie Wein and Mary Symonds (from her earlier marriage to Cedric Symonds).
