Ronald Norman Haddrick (9 April 1929 – 11 February 2020) was an Australian cricketer, theatre performer, stage manager, and radio and television actor and presenter. In 2012, he received the Actors Equity Lifetime Achievement Award for his long and distinguished career in those media. At the time Australian playwright David Williamson said, “Ron Haddrick was chosen for two reasons. He’s a great actor, definitely one of the greatest of his generation, and also a great human being who has enriched the lives of countless Australians through his acting. He has also enriched the lives of many of us who work in the theatre because of his dedication and palpable decency.” Actor John Bell in presenting the award said his “career has been extraordinary ... he is undoubtedly one of the leading lights in the Australian acting industry and he is much loved, admired and respected, because of both his professionalism and his good nature.” On news of his death Bell Shakespeare said: “a legend of Australian theatre ... it was a privilege to have him grace our stage”
