At the time of the video, Bindi was being managed by her 58-year-old mother Terri, who was hoping to extend the Crocodile Hunter franchise to Hollywood following the recent death of her husband Steve.
Steve, known to millions of people around the world as ‘the crocodile hunter’, died on September 4, 2006, at the age of 44, after being pierced in the chest by a ray while filming a documentary about the Great Coral barrier.
