Bob Ross: The Happy Painter

The film reveals the public and private sides of Bob Ross through loving accounts from close friends and family, childhood photographs and rare archival footage. Interviewees recount his gentle, mild-mannered demeanour and unwavering dedication to wildlife, and disclose little-known facts about his (actual) straight hair, fascination with fast cars and more. Film clips feature Bob Ross with mentor William Alexander and the rough-cut of the first Joy Of Painting episode from 1982.
