The King (2007)

Overview
The King is the story of Graham Kennedy, Australia’s first and greatest home grown TV superstar. It traces his rise from working class Balaclava kid, through radio, TV, film, and back to TV again. It also tracks Kennedy’s personal tragedies - the loneliness, the unrealised ambitions and the terrible pressures of being Australia’s first homegrown superstar in the 1950s and 60s.
