Filmmaker Paul Cox.

Filmmaker Paul Cox. He was born in Holland, and then settled permanently in Australia. You might remember his 1981 film "Lonely Hearts," which brought him international acclaim and somewhat of a cult following. His latest film, which he wrote and directed, is called "A Woman's Tale." It's about an 80 year old woman who has cancer, and in fact, it was played by an actress with cancer. Since the film was made, the woman who plays the lead, Sheila Florance, passed away.
