News of Grant Page’s passing is starting to come through, just heard about it via an industry friend on Facebook who worked with him on various projects. The greatest stuntman in Australia cinema somehow lived to be eighty-five, when by rights he probably shouldn’t have lived past 40 or so; he was one of the stars of Not Quite Hollywood by Mark Hartley (who seems to have first broken the news of his passing), at the premiere of which he set himself on fire cos, you know, that was the sort of thing he did for a living. It still astonishes me that he made it out of the 70s alive when you look at some of the things he did (cf. the Don Lane Show stunt in the video below), with his most recent stunt co-ordinating credit being from just four years ago. Good rest to you, sir, you worked for it.
