Before Sam Worthington and Hugh Jackman, before Russell Crowe and
Mel Gibson... there was Rod Taylor. For over 20 years Rod Taylor
was the biggest Australian movie name in Hollywood, starring in
such films as The Time Machine, The Birds and The VIPs. Best known
for his action roles, he was equally adept at romantic comedies and
dramas, working with the A-list of the 60s and 70s: Doris Day, John
Wayne, Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor, Disney, Jane Fonda, Antonioni -
and many more. At a time when Australians could rarely see or hear
themselves on screen, Rod Taylor helped keep his country in the
public eye, and paved the way for the Aussie actors who followed
him. Rod Taylor: An Aussie in Hollywood is the first full-length
biography of this pioneering Australian film star. It's the
thrilling story of a working-class Sydney boy who went to
Hollywood, took on the Americans at their own game on their own
turf in one of the toughest industries there is - and won. It's
also the story of a talented actor who was almost brought down by
the demons of alcohol and ego, but who ultimately overcame them to
triumph. A must for all Rod Taylor fans.
