The Leslie Crowther account wasn't a personal one. That was someone I know who sort of 'met' him.
The actual situation was that the person I know was admiring his Rolls Royce (just looking at it) and Leslie Crowther appeared from somewhere and was very rude, telling him to clear off and keep away from it (words to that effect anyway). |

I think most people realise that Connery is a total berk after his remarks about women needing to be slapped around. His own comments on his brusque nature. |

I detest the way men are presented in advertisements, in which they endlessly blunder about being dim while bossy women put them right. But I can't for the life of me see why we need the word 'white' in that sentence.

William Holden was apparently a gentleman, although ravaged by alcohol. .

Anthony Hopkins: A friend of mine used to work in a cafe back in his hometown of Port Talbot in Wales. He used to visit a friend near the cafe and always ordered sandwiches, cakes etc which my friend would deliver to his friends house.
One day after she had taken stuff around he turned up to the cafe with a massive bouquet of flowers to thank her. She said he was lovely every time he came into the cafe Michael Sheen, she cant praise him enough, again lived in the same town. Paul Potts, she was his neighbour before he became famous, she really cant stand him (I got blasted on the Paul Potts thread when I mentioned this) ![]()

My work colleague met Robson Green a couple of weeks ago and said he was lovely.
A friend said Russell Brand was really nice, genuine and humorous when they met him at his book signing. |

Regarding Barbara Knox, Rita off Corrie, someone I know worked with her and said
"She treats you like you are s*it and she is Ajax"!!!!!!!!! I can vouch that Jamie Oliver is very up himself. Stephen Mulhearn is a tit. Ive also heard that Peter Kay is not very nice. On the other hand, Ive worked with Stephen Graham who is a total gent, Rob James Collier another gent. Matthew Kelly, lovely man. |

Years ago (before his accident) I took my young nephew to see Eddie Kidd perform some stunts.When we gathered after the show to get an autographed programme he was behaving like a diva and shouted that he 'didn't have time for this'.

I went to a few races at Bands Hatch when my brother was driving there and Rowan Atkinson was too, though in a different class. He was fine talking to people who shared his interest in cars and racing but I think he is very private and shy, showbiz doesn't really suit him.In face I once heard someone say it's a form of torture but it is what he does best.

I have a massive crush on William Holden and think now he's quite an underrated actor in comparison to his contemporaries from back then. I'm glad he was apparently a gent in real life. So sad that he had such an addiction though

I lived on the central coast of NSW in Australia and worked in the town of Woy Woy where Spike Milligan had a house. He made some great jokes about Woy Woy. I was depositing the takings for the shop at the local bank when Spike came in - this was 1986/7 - and went to the counter beside me. I think he wanted an account balance or something along those lines and he'd forgotten his bank book and had no ID on him. The humourless young girl behind the screen did not know him from a bar of soap and there, for about 15 mins, stood one of the most famous comedians and comedy writers of all time trying to prove who he was. He didn't go into one of his 'goon' voices, no Bluebottle or Min revivals (that would have been lost on that gormless young girl). The girl told him to wait and went to get the manager thinking she had some strange old man who'd had too much of a liquid lunch inside him - the manager came bolting round the corner, he must have wanted to disappear through the floor when the girl told him a man calling himself Spike Milligan was asking about his account. Spike was getting into the doddery phase, I think he took medication for his moods, but rather than be annoyed or make a fuss he was absolutely delightful and so bemused by it all. The manager told him he was sorry he'd had to be inconvenienced by being asked to verify who he was, and Spike said "It makes a change, I've spent most of my life trying to forget who I am!". He was a good laugh
I'd have not liked to have met him when he was in one of his darker moods though, but he kept those for his family and his staff - so I've read.

Oh me too. He was a very beautiful man, and such a talented actor. (Sunset Boulevard is one of my all time favourite films.) I have heard nothing but good stories about him as a person. Also, he cared about conservation of wildlife in Africa - and actively tried to do something about it - way before it was fashionable to do so.

To the person who mentioned Leslie Crowther, when did you meet him? He would probably admit in later life that he was rude and arrogant in his earlier life, but after admitting his alcohol problems, he was very much a changed man. After his car accident, although he was slower than before, he still enjoyed some happy years with his family before he died.
I'm afraid I can't share that one poster's positive comments about Aled Jones. Most people who work with him can't stand him. As for crowther, didn't the death of Phil Lynott alsomhave a profound effect on him. He was genuinely sorry for the arrogance of his younger years. |
