Ross Higgins almost turned down the iconic Ted Bullpitt role in Kingswood Country — twice.
He thought the character too unlikeable.
A friend bet him a steak dinner audiences would adore the grump.
Ross took the bet, took the role, and lost the bet spectacularly.
That steak dinner became an annual tradition.
Australian tennis great Mal Anderson has sadly passed away at age 91.
A Davis Cup and Grand Slam champion, Anderson became the first unseeded player to win the US Open singles title in 1957.
RIP
