Bud Tingwell dies at 86

Today one of Australia's great screen legends, Bud Tingewell passed on at the age of 86.

I had the great pleasure to work with Bud on a short film I co-produced in 2006. He was an absolute gentleman, professional and a man with many stories to tell.

I will never forget sitting around after to shoot to listen to him recount his days of acting with Chips Rafferty and his time spent overseas. It was like being transported back to the glory days of filmmaking and Bud was the time capsule of knowledge.

CHARLES BUD TINGWELL - REST IN PEACE.
