News about Jane Kennedy

It's the classic Australian comedy about battlers taking on the system - and winning. But hit film The Castle, first released in 1997, appears to have some online users up in arms. In a bizarre twist, critics of the film have linked its plot about a blue collar family trying to save their home from being acquired by developers to Australia's current housing crisis.

An enterprising Airbnb host has turned the 'holiday home' used in the film into a holiday destination. The modest three-bedroom cottage, which is 168 kilometers from Melbourne, has been restored to look just as it did in the 1997 film. Retro furniture and accessories that recall the 1970s throwback period of the now famous Australian comedy classic are among the highlights.

In the first season of Frontline, the ABC parody of television current affairs journalism in the mid 1990s, the outgoing 3AW morning host appeared as himself. Mitchell was a regular participant in the news of the day with Frontline's self-absorbed and dimwitted host Mike Moore, played by Rob Sitch, on his 3AW morning show (main). But when Mitchell sluggishly slammed producer Working Dog's new show Funky Squad on television, they fired him. 'Mindy, my bill for the entire series was one bottle of whisky, and I don't drink whisky,' he told Daily Mail Australia.

After their time on hit '90s comedy Frontline, Jane Kennedy and Rob Sitch are two of Australian comedy's most recognisable stars. The newlywed couple, who seldom make red carpet appearances, enjoyed a date night at Melbourne Arts Centre's opening night. In front of a florally decorated media wall, the comedians appeared relaxed and cheery.
