Australian film veteran who worked with Sam Neill, Meryl Streep and Charlton Heston dies at age 92


Australian theatre and film identity Wendy Dickson has died at age 92.

Born in 1932 in the outback city of Broken Hill in NSW, she grew up in Sydney after her father, ALP member William Dickson, began a prominent political career. Leaving Australia for the UK after finishing her schooling at Sydney Girls High, Dickson studied design and entered the film industry as an assistant. The film recreated the controversial and notorious case of Lindy and Michael Chamberlain who were charged with murder after a dingo attacked and took their baby from a camping ground at Uluru in 1980.
