Good fortune for Robyn Malcolm, as mum survives quake.

The mother of Outrageous Fortune star, Robyn Malcolm, was one of 14 people pulled alive from Christchurch's CTV building.

The mother of Outrageous Fortune star, Robyn Malcolm, was one of 14 people pulled alive from the fifth floor of the CTV building in Christchurch.

71-year-old counsellor Anne Malcolm suffered a broken hip, broken femur, broken arms, broken vertebrae, cracked ribs, dislocated shoulders.

She was on the highest floor of the building in Christchurch when it collapsed on Tuesday, entombing as many as 120 people.

But she mustered the strength to answer a workmate who was calling out her name from somewhere in the wreckage.

Malcolm doesn’t remember being pulled from the ruins and lifted out of the rubble by two policemen and a passerby, who laid her down in a makeshift triage centre in nearby Latimer Square.

Outrageous Fortune‘s Robyn Malcolm travelled from Auckland to be with her mother after hearing the news.

“She just sounded so little and so frightened,” she said.

The final episode of the NZ dramedy airs on TEN next week.
