We have also lost television star of the 1960s and 1970s Anthony Valentine who made his name in such series as Callan, Raffles and Colditz. It was also a pleasure to meet her dad and partner at the Christmas lights switch-on ceremony organised by the Town Council. At the beginning of the 1970s, MGM in Hollywood held a famous auction on several of their sound stages of props and costumes accumulated over the past 50 years. Luckily, Hollywood veteran star Debbie Reynolds purchased many things with the hope of creating a Hollywood museum. Such is showbiz but I wished I had been at that MGM auction over 40 years ago.
