Possibly, but she's certainly known in Australia. I even remember a late 70's (?) TV series...is that the opening theme running through my head..."We are the faaamous fiiiive..."? I've even seen current references to them in popular culture, by comedians, for instance (though perhaps this is a generational thing...Gen X may laugh, but Gen Y may go, "Huh?").
