Australian entertainer Rolf Harris, born 30 March 1930, has worked as a painter, actor, comedian, singer-songwriter, composer, musician, and television personality throughout his career.
He played the didgeridoo and the stylophone throughout his concerts and is credited with creating the wobble board. He frequently employed strange instruments.
In 2014, Harris was found guilty of sexually assaulting four minors, ultimately ending his career.
Agnes Margaret and Cromwell Harris, who had both immigrated from Cardiff, Wales, had settled in Bassendean, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, where Harris was born on March 30, 1930. He was raised in Perth’s Wembley.
He was given the name Rolf Boldrewood in honor of his mother’s favorite Australian author, who wrote under that name.
In Australia, Harris was frequently referred to as “the lad from Bassendean” after he became famous.
He once had a dog named Buster Fleabags when he was younger; he later authored a book about the dog.
