Ewen Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Maybe it has been done before but its worth another thread:) Dad went to the same school as Jim Clark (FTBO younger members, a famous F1 driver) and was also good friends with Gordon Honeycombe (newsreader / author / gaeneologist). As I've posted before, I lived on Holy Island as a kid, and witnessed the making of both Culdesac and Macbeth by Roman Polanski. The cast and crew of Culdesac stayed on the Island and either Donald Pleasance or Lionel Stander (Max off Hart to Hart) lodged with us. They came to my sixth birthday party and I think I remember sitting on Polanskis knee, and I remember a blonde woman who I assume was Francoise Dorleac. Stander drove a great big Continental around, which was slightly larger than Dads Beetle as I remember. The cast of Macbeth didnt seem to be around much. I meet quite a few famous people through my work, one of the funniest was Nigel Mansell, one of the hardest to please was Steffi Graaf and the 'most unlikely guy to go drinking in a Winchester Pub' was the King of Spain.
