- Summary:
-
"Barry Crocker has been an omnipresent part of the Australian entertainment industry for as long as most of us can remember. In a career spanning more than 60 years Barry has done it all as a singer, dancer, actor and comedian. As an actor, he has had a diverse range of dramatic and comedy rolls, including starring in the successful Barry McKenzie films in the early 1970s and he is fondly known for singing the theme song for the TV show Neighbours and his many Carols by Candlelight and fundraising telethon appearances. As a young boy Barry developed a fascination with his grandfather's box brownie camera, which would lead to a lifelong passion for photography. Barry has captured all the key moments of his life and the well-known faces who have been part of it and many of the photographs are included here. This is the story of a little boy with a camera who grew up to become one of Australia's most likeable and enduring media stars; a boy who could sing, dance and tell jokes with the best of them."--Back cover.
