Notable roles he portrayed include Clang in Help!

McKern was born in Sydney, New South Wales, the son of Vera (née Martin) and Norman Walton McKern. He attended Sydney Technical High School. After an accident at the age of 15, he lost his left eye.

J M W TURNER, although renowned for his Oil Paintings,was also one of the greatest masters of British watercolour landscape painting.He is commonly known as the "Painter of Light". Turner travelled widely in Europe, starting with France and Switzerland, in 1802, and studying at the Louvre,in Paris, in the same year. He also made many visits to Venice. As he grew older, Turner became more eccentric. He had few close friends except for his father, who lived with him for 30 years,eventually working as his studio assistant.

In his later years, he used oils ever more transparently, and turned to an evocation of almost pure light by use of shimmering colour. The intensity of hu...
