Sydney - New South Wales - Australia:
Rod Taylor (nato il 11 gennaio 1930 a Sydney, Australia, e morto il 7 gennaio 2015 a Los Angeles) è stato un attore australiano. Dopo aver iniziato la carriera in teatro e alla radio, si trasferì negli Stati Uniti negli anni Cinquanta, dove cominciò a ottenere ruoli sempre più importanti al cinema e in televisione. La sua consacrazione arrivò con La macchina del tempo (1960), adattamento del romanzo di H. G. Wells diretto da George Pal, nel quale interpretò il protagonista George. Tre anni dopo Alfred Hitchcock lo scelse come protagonista di Gli uccelli (1963), al fianco di Tippi Hedren, consolidando la sua fama internazionale. Tra gli altri film più importanti della sua carriera figurano L'uomo che visse nel futuro, Le meravigliose avventure di Aladino, Domenica a New York, La grande fuga, Zabriskie Point e The Hell with Heroes. Taylor lavorò inoltre frequentemente in televisione, partecipando a diverse serie e film televisivi. Negli ultimi anni continuò a comparire occasionalmente sul grande schermo, con una delle sue ultime interpretazioni in Bastardi senza gloria (2009) di Quentin Tarantino, dove interpretò Winston Churchill. Con una carriera durata oltre cinquant'anni, Rod Taylor rimane una delle figure più importanti del cinema australiano affermatesi a Hollywood.
