Blinky Bill producer dies aged 88
THE man behind our favourite animated koala has died, aged 88.
Australian film producer Yoram Gross, who helped create and produce Blinky Bill died quietly on Monday.
His son, Guy Gross told Inside Film that his father was a “wonderfully inappropriate jokester”.
Gross, who holds more than 80 international awards for his various films was born in Poland before migrating to Australia, where he set up Yoram Gross Film Studios in Sydney.
The leading animation producer and director released his memoir titled ‘My Animated Life’ in 2011.
RIP Yoram Gross. Our thoughts are with Sandra and all the Gross family. pic.twitter.com/tzXUfQTJUn
