A Fortunate Life (1) Australian Story : Season 24 Episode 21

As he prepares to celebrate his 80th birthday, an uncharacteristically reflective Paul Hogan looks back over his remarkable life and career. In the first of two episodes, the actor and comedian talks about his working-class background, sudden fame in his early 30s, his relationship with John “Strop” Cornell and the genesis of Crocodile Dundee, one of the most successful independent films ever made. Paul's son Todd, speaking publicly for the first time, talks movingly of the disruptions the family faced as their father became a star virtually overnight. Featuring previously unseen childhood photos and candid insights from family, friends and colleagues, this is Paul Hogan as you’ve never seen him before.
