Description: "Hector Crawford--the name remains synonymous with Australian television. The tag line This has been a Crawford Production still resonates with generations of Australians who grew up with his cops, the Sullivan family or any of the long line of productions that flowed from his legendary company. His public façade is part of our collective memory but the man behind it, and how his passion and determination changed Australian culture forever is revealed in Hector. In this compelling account of his life Rozzi Bazzani recounts vividly how, as Crawfords influence grew, the off screen politics employed by the TV networks and rivals to diminish his company's power became as exciting as any of his on-screen dramas"--Back cover.
