USE SOCIAL DISTANCING TO AVOID INFECTION AND ANTIVIRAL HERBS TO STOP CORONAVIRUS DEATHS - King Roman, Doctor of Natural Medicine

NOTICE

BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING ACT OF GOD KNOWN AS CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC & ACCOMPANYING UNCERTAINTIES,

AND ALSO AS A MARK OF RESPECT FOR ALL SUFFERING AND GRIEVING FAMILIES AND FRIENDS,

KING ROMAN REGRETS TO INFORM THAT THE IMPERIAL MOVIE AWARDS & RELATED FUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED

IN ORDER TO AVOID UNWANTED INFECTIONS & TRAVEL & ACCOMMODATION PROBLEMS

King Roman has loved the movies since childhood in Edinburgh when his mother Lady Katherine would take him to see musicals like The Desert Song with Gordon Macrae and Kathryn Grayson and South Pacific with Rosanno Brazzi and Mitzi Gaynor.

Lady Katherine also took him to watch X-rated science fiction films like Creature from the Black Lagoon and It Came from Outer Space, which would probably merit no more than a G or PG rating today. Lady Katherine met

Jack Lemmon (China Syndrome), and one of his favourite singers, Frank Ifield who also appeared in movies.

King Roman studied acting and directing at QSPA on the Gold Coast, did an acting and directing course in Darwin, appeared in The Phantom 1966 where he met Billy Zane (Titanic) and Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and filmed a scene for the Flipper television series in which his favorite movie star Jessica Alba starred. King Roman's movie career on the Gold Coast was cut short when he returned to Darwin in 1995.

Everyone has film favourites. Here are some starting at one of King Roman's, Hot Enough for June with the lovely Sylvia Koscina.
