The name might not be overly familiar but he was the producer of The Gods Must Be Crazy, Beautiful People and Lost In The Desert.
I knew him personally: he was a millionaire many times over but he remained a down to earth and friendly person with an almost constant grin.
RIP Oom Boet. :bluesad:

Thanks Rev: my first encounter with him was way back in 1991 when I assisted my two colleagues in emptying their film vault at Mimosa Pictures in Johannesburg before their move: three weeks work and almost 20 000 cans :buggedout: :buggedout:
He came to see us working away - Marius, Freddie and me - and greeted us, asked if we were OK and ordered his staff
to ensure that the three of us got a hot lunch daily for the time we were there. Nice man. :smile:
