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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
