I don't think he was well known in the UK although he was in Home & Away but I'm really saddened to hear of the death of a pal Aussie actor Julian McMahon from cancer. He was doing so well in the USA.

I met him through his mother Lady Sonia McMahon who I adored. Sadly Sonia died of cancer as well. At the Cancer Clinic I attend in Sydney there is a tribute to her at the entrance which I see every time I visit. She raised $Millions for them.

Sonia's husband Sir Billy McMahon was prime minster and when she and Billy went to the Richard Nixon White House photos of her in a wonderful dress with a split up to her thighs swept around the world on front pages.

Never met Sir Billy but both Sonia & son Julian were delightful.She used to tell me such naughty tales about Danni Minough who Julian once married against Sonia's wishes.
