Barry Otto's daughter Gracie shares heartbreaking update on the Aussie actor: 'It's like he's trying to remember who he is'
Barry Otto's daughter Gracie has shared a heartbreaking update on her father's health.
The 82-year-old star of Strictly Ballroom, Australia, The Great Gatsby and The Dressmaker was diagnosed with Alzheimer's six years ago. When I put Strictly Ballroom on, I kept pointing at him onscreen; I don't think (he understood) until the end, and I turned around to see him clapping when his character was on, and he had tears in his eyes when they played 'Love Is In The Air' as the curtain came down,' she shared. The film sees Gracie take her father to Brisbane to relive his childhood, his poor upbringing, and his first foray into theatre in touching scenes.
