entertainment industry. From his role
as a critic on the ABC’s Roundabout in 1963
to presenting on the Nine, Seven and Ten
networks, then signing with Foxtel when it
launched in 1995, where he stayed for the
rest of his career, he introduced generations
of Australians to the world of movies imbued
with his passion for Hollywood.

hearts are broken by the loss of our dear Bill.
How fortunate we were to have him in our lives.”
