Betty Bobbitt dead: Crocodile Dundee star dies aged 81 after ‘major stroke’

She was not on the list.

Actress Betty Bobbitt has died at the age of 81, it has been confirmed.

The Hollywood star, best known for her role in Crocodile Dundee, spent four days in hospital following a ‘major stroke’ but died on Monday.

Sharing the sad news, Bobbitt’s son Christopher Hill said in a statement: ‘Sadly, mum passed away this morning at 10:20am after five nights in hospital.

‘She was peaceful and in no pain. Thank you for your support and apologies if I can’t respond to everyone but I will try. I will post more later.’

Christopher had kept friends and fans updated on Bobbitt’s health via Facebook in the days after her stroke.

He wrote last Wednesday: ‘We are hugely devastated and struggling to come to terms with such a sudden event.

‘My mum has been a legend, an inspiration, a mentor and icon for so many. She is comfortable and not in any pain that we can tell, but the prognosis is not good. She is not expected to recover.’

Bobbitt appeared in three Crocodile Dundee movies alongside Paul Hogan and is also known for her role in Prisoner: Cell Block H from 1980 to 1985.
