Rod Taylor dead at 84. I had such a crush on him.

[marylander1940]

Rod Taylor, who died this week in Los Angeles at age 84, was one of Australia’s most successful film exports. His accomplishments can stand beside those of Tasmanian Errol Flynn in the 1930s and Geoffrey Rush of Queensland in the 2000s. Yet he was vastly under-appreciated in his home country.

 

Australians love it when one of their own succeeds in Hollywood, and they have even greater affection for them when they come home, returning to their roots.

I'm so sorry, I just realized there was already another thread about him.

 

searching short words like ROD on here usually doesn't work.
