A former holiday camp entertainer, dance band musician, and vocalist, Bill Owen rose to prominence in eccentric comedy roles on the London stage.

Trivia:
British stage and screen actress Thora Hird specialized in loquacious working class types. The wide-eyed, thin-lipped actress seemed destined from birth to portray maids, landladies, clerks and charwomen. To add variety to this narrow acting category, Hird became an expert in a variety of regional British accents. In films from 1940's Spellbound (not the Hitchcock picture of the same name), Thora brightened her fleeting moments in such films as The Courtneys of Curzon Street (1947), The Good Companions (1950), The Galloping Major (1951), The Creeping Unknown (1956) and A Kind of Loving (1962). In 1978, she wrote her autobiography, Seen and Hird. Thora Hird was the mother of Janette Scott, a former child actress who became a popular and attractive film leading lady of the late '50s and early '60s (As Long as They're Happy (1957), Day of the Triffids (1963), etc).

Trivia:
On-stage from 1939, when he appeared in the Old Vic production of French Without Tears, Michael Aldridge carved out a niche for himself in light, aristocratic comedy roles. His first film appearance was in the otherwise unremarkable Bank Holiday Luck (1947). Orson Welles aficionados will remember Aldridge's work as the cadaverous Pistol in Chimes at Midnight (1967). As busy on British television as he was elsewhere, Michael Aldridge starred or co-starred in such series as The Man in Room 17 (1965-1966), Love for Lydia (1977), Charlie (1984), Charters and Caldicott (1985), and Last of the Summer Wine (1985-1989); he also appeared as the C.S. Lewis-like professor in the 1988 TV production of Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
