Lyndall Georgina Hobbs, a renowned Australian film director and producer, was born in Melbourne, Australia in March 1952. Growing up, she was a close childhood friend of Amanda Zachariah, a journalist for the Geelong Advertiser. Hobbs' early life was marked by a significant period spent in the United Kingdom, where she directed the film 'Steppin' Out', featuring the popular UK band Secret Affair.
Following her time in the UK, Hobbs relocated to Hollywood in the United States, where she embarked on a new chapter in her career. During this period, she was in a romantic relationship with the acclaimed actor Al Pacino. The couple's relationship was a significant aspect of Hobbs' life, and she eventually gave birth to a daughter, Lola Rose Thompson, and adopted a son, Nick David Hobbs.
Hobbs' remarkable story was later documented in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's documentary, "In Her Father's Eyes", providing a fascinating glimpse into her life and career.
