The Real Graham Kennedy
TV history will reveal that there were two Graham Kennedys – the funny, somewhat irreverent & controversial one who inhabited our living rooms for so many years – and the other, an intensely private, shy but affable man who talks for the first time in this brand new documentary tribute about his childhood, the early days in radio & TV, and his thoughts on life, marriage and death. His friends, colleagues, fellow performers, housekeeper, driver etc, all talk about the real Graham Kennedy they knew – utilising rare footage not previously seen on Australian television – with wonderful memories from Denise Drysdale, Rosemary Margan, philip Brady, Stephen Curry, Mike McColl-Jones and many more. This is not just another re-hashed TV special – but a new, rare insight into the boy from Balaclava – who became the undisputed “King of Australian Television”. produced by Bob phillips, one of the producers from Kennedy’s break-thru Channel 9 program ‘In Melbourne Tonight’
