I refer to the death of Australian star Rod Taylor who made several movies at MGM in Borehamwood in the 1960s but may be better remembered as the star of the classic The Time Machine film from that era. He was long retired when he died at the age of 93 in his Beverley Hills home. The common link was that they both starred in a great but almost forgotten film made at MGM in Borehamwood in 1963 called The VIPs. The other Hollywood star in the picture was the legendary Orson Welles who played an over the top film director. Maggie Smith played Rod Taylor's secretary in the film, but alas when I asked for her memories of the film she declined to comment.
