The two U-Matic tapes covering Channel 7’s telecast was saved by, would you believe, a Carlton supporter named Al, who rescued them from being trashed at a storage facility back in the 1980s.

#RIP Greg Cammon, 73 Four-time Oscar winning makeup artist (Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Vice). https://t.co/x9TsIwxc5n
#RIP Rosanna Norton , 80. Received an Oscar nomination for the TRON costumes. Had the prom dress worn by CARRIE custom made; aged the jeans and jacket for Martin Sheen in BADLANDS, and somehow made THE FLINTSTONES cartoon costumes practical for the movie. https://t.co/pFdrrF2WpB
#RIP James Foley, 71 Directed the cracking 'Glengarry Glen Ross', and the rather tame 'Fifty Shades of Grey' films. In the 80s he directed Madonna film clips! https://t.co/Aa3fV8rLhX
