Seen by some as an eccentric conman, he was ridiculed for his extravagant assertions, which he held until his tragic end. But Lasseter remains the embodiment of the Australian folk hero, who lived a life full of incredible adventures, tall tales and outrageous claims – including a possible faked death and his insistence that he designed the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Night of 100 Stars
Self
The most glittering, expensive, and exhausting videotaping session in television history took place Friday February 19, 1982 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The event, for which ticket-buyers payed up to $1,000 a seat (tax-deductible as a contribution to the Actors' Fund) was billed as "The Night of 100 Stars" but, actually, around 230 stars took part. And most of the audience of 5,800 had no idea in advance that they were paying to see a TV taping, complete with long waits for set and costume changes, tape rewinding, and the like. Executive producer Alexander Cohen estimated that the 5,800 Radio City Music Hall seats sold out at prices ranging from $25 to $1,000. The show itself cost about $4 million to produce and was expected to yield around $2 million for the new addition to the Actors Fund retirement home in Englewood, N. J. ABC is reputed to have paid more than $5 million for the television rights.
Assassinato Num Dia de Sol
Odell Gardener
Quem poderia ter estrangulado a famosa estrela da Broadway, enquanto ela despreocupadamente descansava nas areias de uma praia localizada em exclusiva ilha no Mediterrâneo? Conhecendo-se Agatha Christie, a resposta só pode ser... Todos!! Esta é a quarta, e provavelmente a melhor, produção de Brabourne/Goodwin, que começou com "Assassinato no Expresso Oriente" (1974), baseada em história da Rainha do Crime. Hercule Poirot tem, então, mais um caso a resolver. Um excelente elenco participa deste filme, James Mason e Sylvia Miles, como dois produtores da Broadway que a vítima humilharia, Roddy McDowall como um colunista social que vê em uma biografia da explosiva artista a sua tímida e ciumenta esposa. Além, é claro , de Peter Ustinov como o grande Hercule Poirot. A música de Cole Porter completa o pedigree deste filme que não só é um excelente filme de suspense como também um bom exemplo de como manter o clima de mistério sem apelar para a violência excessiva.
