7:30 pm Channel Nine Graham Kennedy: The King of Television**(60*mins , Rated: PG) Genre: Documentary A unique performer with a rare ability, Graham Kennedy is simply known as "the king" and the kingdom he ruled was Australian television. This special traces Kennedy's early days of radio and the tentative days of early In Melbourne Tonight to the triumphs of the Graham Kennedy national shows. Kennedy's amazing fast wit, incisive sarcasm and shrewd reading of social attitudes ensured that no other personality came close to matching his style, charisma and power. | |||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 9 | The Tele is reporting Hinch may be sacked. Mystified as to why that rates a potential sacking, given what goes on in radio-land. Hinch obviously believes it's true, but I can't really see how he would have come to that belief. It's a peculiar claim, even for him. Also a little baffled at some of the outrage expressed here. It's not okay to say something that might be untrue about Kennedy when he's already dead, but Kylie having a potentially life threatening condition is fair game for outright ridicule?  | ||

And it's not like Hinch is trying to make a joke out of Kennedy's sexuality - he thinks he's reporting serious journalistic news. At least, that's the excuse he's giving. I fail to see any similarities between the two situations. | |||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 6 | Here's a report that claims that Hinch reported on radio that Kennedy had died from AIDS when he'd already been told that Kennedy had been tested for it and came up negative. It also goes into the "proof" of Kennedy's condition that Hinch is using to back up his belief. | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 3 | Fom www.news.com.au 'Graduate' star Anne Bancroft dies From correspondents in New York June 08, 2005 From: Agence France-Presse AMERICAN actress Anne Bancroft, best known for her role as the vampish Mrs Robinson in the 1967 movie The Graduate has died. She was 73. John Barlow, a spokesman for her husband, the comic actor, director and producer Mel Brooks, said Bancroft died on Monday of uterine cancer at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Born Anna Maria Louisa Italiano in The Bronx, Bancroft began her film career just as the studio contract system was coming to an end. She made her big screen debut in Don't Bother to Knock in 1952, and 10 years later she won a best actress Oscar for her role as Annie Sullivan, the teacher of the deaf, mute and blind Helen Keller in The Story of My Life. But her signature role remains that of Mrs Robinson in The Graduate in which she coldly seduced her daughter's future boyfriend played by Dustin Hoffman, who also made his name with the film. In 1964, Bancroft married Brooks, whom she had met on a talk show. The couple acted together in Brooks's 1983 remake of To Be or Not to Be. more at IMDB | ||
