CaptainChorizo 1,991 Posted October 31, 2018 The Wave of Aussie Directors from the 70's who crossed over to Hollywood are all starting to get up in years. While none of these lads have any health problems that I am aware of,they are worth keeping on the radar the next few years.

Heef 166 Posted November 1, 2018 Roger Donaldson too. He's in his 70s. 72 I think. Perhaps more seen as a Kiwi, but he was born in Victoria I believe. Any Aussies keen on putting together a semi-official ANZAC list for 2019? I think I suggested such earlier in the year, but had already missed the boat for 2018. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
