Paul Hogan to sell U.S. home

In the midst of Paul Hogan’s Australian tax turmoil, the actor and his wife, Linda Kozlowski, have reportedly listed their Californian house for $US6.5 million.

Hogan, who started his career as a painter on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, first made a name for himself in the 1970’s delivering a comical interview on ‘A Current Affair’, which in turn lead to his own show ‘The Paul Hogan Show’. He was awarded Australian of the Year in 1985 and was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM). Hogan stared in his first film, Crocodile Dundee, in 1986, which became the most successful Australian film ever and won him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. Hogan has also starred in ‘Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles’, ’Almost an Angel’, ‘Flipper’,  ‘Lightning Jack’,  and ‘Charlie and Boots’.
