■ Melbourne media and theatre identity Lachlan Macdonald died on Saturday (Nov. 25) after illness. His death is mourned by wife Helen, daughter Alexis, son Scott, their families, and a legion of friends. Lachlan had done so much in his career. He had worked in advertising production, front-of-house (including stints at Tikki and Johns, and Dracula’s), stage management (including Disney), fitness and positvity, as a journalist and radio newsman (Gold 104.3), and on television with credits including Wentworth, House Husbands, Offspring, Dangerous Remedy, The Cup, Neighbours, Bootleg, The Damnation of Harvey McHugh, ANZACs, Skyways, Prisoner and Homicide. Lach approached his illness, Amyloidosis, with courage and humour. Lachlan Macdonald, our friend and former neighbour, will be missed. - Ash Long
