This thread still going?

This thread still going?

Yes. But not for long.

Our hero is missing about 40 odd sphincters. If he doesn't hold tight he could start leaking everywhere.

I played golf at Moor Allerton in Leeds on Monday and as we approached the ninth green I noticed what appeared to be a giant kestrel hovering and circling above. One of my playing partners who is a local informed me that it was a red kite.

Didn't get a pic but what a beautiful big bird that is.

I went for an Indian yesterday, and would just like to inform you that when I got home, I involuntarily deposited 37 of my sphincters in the loo.

Disclaimer: None of the above is necessarily true.

Its one of my local courses, very nice indeed. They were not too happy when I wrote off my car on a country road in 2009 and ended up on one of their Tee's :_

Red kites have been bred and introduced around there and eccup reservoir, lots of the buggers now!

Go on, then. I'm off work today, so you may have some wiki random people quiz fun.

I am an English comic actor, with an enviable resumé, having worked with the biggest names in showbiz on both sides of the Pond. I was a well known film star in the fifties and sixties. Dick Dastardly, Dustin Hoffman's version of Captain Hook and Rupert Everett's Prince Charming from Shrek 2 are all based on me to some extent.

I said of my time in Europe:

"My work was done so quickly, I never even knew the title of the films or met the stars. Many's the time I have finished one picture on a Saturday and been flying somewhere on a Sunday to start shooting on the Monday ... Rome one week, Paris the next, Brazil the week after. It was madness".

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1971 but continued to work for another decade. By the mid-eighties, I had pretty much nothing left and was living off handouts from the Actor's Benevolent Fund, more because of huge medical fees than the excesses of life. A gala was organised in 1989 by Jack Douglas to raise funds for me and for Parkinson's UK, featuring 120 people in Drury Lane. This allowed me to move out of charity-funded accommodation and into a nursing home, where I died in 1990.

I am known by a double-barreled first name, rather than first and surname. My real surname is Stevens.

I was going to c+p the questions I asked in Tom's excellent diary over here but I just assumed this thread was dead.

Terry-Thomas?

Redsimon wins. I never even knew it was a double-barreled name. Such a tragic story to read this afternoon, that.

I was born in 1899 in New York. My father was of Irish descent, while my mother was half Irish and half Norwegian. I enjoyed tap dancing when I was little. My father died in 1918 and I had to return from Columbia University after one semester to provide for my mother and family, with every penny I earned going straight to them. I was an architect, a copy boy for the New York Sun, a book custodian at the New York Public Library, a bellhop, a draughtsman and night doorman. I was a good streetfighter, winning the New York State Lightweight amateur title, but I also played semi-professional baseball.

I used to visit an aunt who happened to live by Vitagraph Studios in Brooklyn and would peer over a fence at the recordings. By chance, I was working in a department store when an audition came up for a crossdressing troupe of armed service dancers and a colleague, who had seen me tapdance when I was young, convinced me to audition. I agreed, despite only knowing once dance and blagged the rest by following the others practicing beforehand. I got the part. I was holding down jobs and sending money home when I eventually got picked up by the Vaudeville circuit in an act with my future wife. I danced in a number of troupes in that circuit, one that was previously called Parker, Rand and Leach, when Archibald Leach left (to become Cary Grant).

Despite moving to California with my wife, it was tough to get a job that wasn't dancing and I ended up doing some Vaudeville again, coupled with teaching in a dance school. I worked on Franklin D Rooseveldt's campaign, although I later became a supporter of the Republicans.

A play I performed in with Joan Blondell was seen by Al Jolson, who bought the rights for $20,000. He sold those rights to Warner Brothers, on the sole condition that Joan and I were to play the lead roles. The next five years were hectic, to such an extent that I sued Warner Brothers in 1935 for pushing me too far. I was back with them a couple of years later, playing one of my most famous roles on the big screen and losing out for the Oscar to Spencer Tracy's performance in Boys' Town (a role I almost got), although I won it a couple of years later. In my first year back at Warners, I made $324,000.

As president of the Screen Actors' Guild, I was vocal in trying to reduce the influence on the film industry of the mafia. A hit was apparently ordered (such that my wife was telephoned to say I was dead), but was called off.

I died in 1986 of a heart attack.

Who am I?
