‘Crocodile Dundee’ actor David Gulpilil, indigenous legend, dead at 68
announced Monday via a statement by South Australian Premier Steven Marshall: “It is with deep sadness that I share with the people of South Australia the passing of an iconic, once-in-a-generation artist who shaped the history of Australian film and Aboriginal representation on screen – David Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu (AM).”Born on July 1, 1953, Gulpilil was raised in the bush and never went to school. He often said he learned English by listening.“That’s all I know, dancing, singing, spear-throwing and hunting,” he recalled in a 2015 interview according to The Hollywood Reporter.
