Classic Australian character : TV and film icon John Strop Cornell dies aged 80
John Cornell, the Australian TV and film legend behind the Paul Hogan show, Crocodile Dundee films and a driving force for World Series Cricket, has died at the age of 80.
Cornell passed away peacefully this morning in Byron Bay after a 20-year battle with Parkinson s disease, with his wife and eldest daughter by his side, and his youngest daughter on the phone from the UK. A classic Australian character, John Cornell made the lives he touched much richer, not only through donations, but also through his generosity of spirit, humour, humility and honour. A true egalitarian, John sought equity and equality, and fought for a fair go, his family said in a statement.
