RIP John McCallum

February 05 2010

I was very sorry to hear yesterday of the death of the fine actor, John McCallum. He was maried to his wife, the actress Googie Withers, for almost fifty years - theirs was a great love story. Graeme Blundell's obiturary is here. Brian McFarlane's article on John and Googie, published in Meanjin 68:3 is here.
