Joy Cavill (1923 - 1990) was an Australian writer and producer who worked in radio for a number of years before breaking into films as continuity person on King of the Coral Sea (1954).[1] This film started an association with Lee Robinson which went on for many years, and involved her working with him as a writer, associate producer and producer on a number of projects, notably Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, on which she was sole producer on the third season.[2]
Without Robinson, she wrote and produced the feature film, Dawn! (1979), a biopic of the Australian swimmer Dawn Fraser, with whom Cavill had a romantic relationship.[3] She is considered one of the pioneer female producers of the Australian film industry.[4]
