Heartbreak for legendary Australian actor Nicholas Hammond


Australian actor Nicholas Hammond's beloved actress mother Eileen Bennett died earlier this month aged 105.

Some of the popular productions he has appeared in include Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, Mao's Last Dancer, The Flying Doctors and the 2015 mini-series Gallipoli. The American-born star who played oldest son Friedrich from The Sound Of Music later reflected on 50 years of the Oscar-winning movie, admitting fame bought him no shortage of women. But after divorcing wife Laura Soli, to whom he was married from 1978–1984, he chose to settle with Australian actress Robyn Nevin, who he met when they starred in Alan Ayckbourn's Woman in Mind at the Sydney Theatre Company in 1987.
