That Hogan had very sad demise after promising early career. 

Still unsolved 

Having Testicular Cancer and his Father dying in the one year is fairly solid evidence

    I think he means Bob Crane (played Hogan on Hogans Heros TV show). He was bashed to death mysteriously.

    Oh yes Bob Crane had a very shady life outside of acting.

    You mean he was gay when it wasn't socially acceptable and he had to hide it in Hollywood like others, and the stress of this led him along the path of drug and drink problems?

    About 90% of Hollywood was Gay back then, but yes the outside world didn’t want to know.

    Maybe, but I believe he was also a womaniser with a keen interest in photography and video, if you know what I mean

    Klink was the son of one of the great Conductors, Otto Klemperer. As we say in Germany, Vat a conductor!!!!!

    I remember watching a doco about him late last year. He left his wife of 20 years and had an affair with a co star. But he was also a big womanizer who made a lot of home made pornography with many women.

    He definitely was no angel. Indulged in a few dodgy activities which had nothing to do with his homosexuality.

    Conductors are incredible when they are working hard, listening and projecting to an 88 piece Orchestra. 

    Like a top snooker player they have to be thinking 2-3 bars ahead all the time, as well as the actual moment

    Otto was one of the greats, along with Furtwangler and a Yakka Dude called Kurt Sanderling, another Jewish German who went to Russia instead of Hollywood and came back to Berlin in 1960. If you like so-called 'classical music' check these three out.

    The Sydney Conductor who guested on “Spi.cks and Specks” many times, he died last year. I met him a few times at work, absolute top bloke. He made me understand what a Conductor is actually doing

    Yes that’s the man. His passion for music and life in general was so infectious 

    he loved being on “Spi.cks” (don’t know why the word “Spicks” is Censored!!! :) 

    And now it isn’t!! Haha

    otto had a cousin victor, author of "i shall bear witness" who survived the bombing of dresden and in the confusion and destruction of that, was able to avoid imminent deportation to a concentration camp and thus survived till the end of the war

    John Banner (Shultz), Leon Askin (General Burkhalter) and Robert Clary (LeBeau) were other cast members who were born Jewish, the latter having been liberated from Buchenwald.

    Side notes: 

    - When Klemperer was approached to play Colonel Klink, he agreed to do it only if the writers made Klink an idiot.

    - The scar on Askin’s face came from being beaten while in the custody of the SS. And, as a little boy, he performed in front of Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria-Hungary.

    - Banner posed for U.S. Military recruiting posters during the war.

    - Clary was the youngest of 14 children, and is the only major cast member still living.

    Thanks for that WJ

    I knew about Klemperer only doing it on that condition. 

    The rest i didn’t know

    It's like an abstract quiz: how do you thematically get from Jesse Hogan to Victor Furtwangler in four steps via homosexuality in Hollywood and the television show Spicks & Specks?

    Next challenge: Victor Furtwangler back to Jesse Hogan via Spongebob Squarepants and a block of cheddar cheese.

    No. I am actually serious. There was a huge Roman Bath in there that lasted until around the mid 90’s. 

    I went there a few times after a night shift. 

    It was brilliant!!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
