Thanks Phillip, that info helps enormously - Crocodile Dundee was made in the
80's - way before my children's time.
I guess my kids only know of the movies cos of the re runs on tv every year
around Christmas
I thought a few of you might of heard of Dame Edna, but suspected Norman
Gunstan would be a long shot.

Interesting you should ask. Last weekend I was with a bunch of
high school and collage aged kids and made reference to Paul
Hogan, ("That's not a knife. This is a knife!"). Blank looks. I
said. That from the movie "Crocodile Dundee". No one had heard
of it. So at least with that group it would not do so well. *smile*
Regarding Edna Everage or Noramn Gunston - I rather doubt the
average person in the USA has any clue who they are.
