Glam rocker played by Graham Matters in the 1976 Australian Wizard of Oz parody/tribute Oz (aka Oz: A Rock 'n' Roll Road Movie aka 20th Century Oz). Dorothy, who is a teen groupie in this version, is trying to see the Wizard's last concert while escaping an evil thug with the help of a brainless surfer, heartless mechanic, and cowardly biker (who are all really members of a band she follows). The film, whose musical score is by Ross Wilson (frontman of real Australian rock bands Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock), didn't do so well upon release, but has become a cult film.
