Donald Sinden Career

Sinden made his first stage appearance at the amateur Brighton Little Theatre (of which he later became president) in 1941, stepping into a part in place of his cousin Frank, who had been called up to war and so was unable to appear. Offered a professional acting part by the Brighton impresario Charles F. Smith, he made his first professional appearance in January 1942, playing Dudley in a production of George and Margaret for the Mobile Entertainments Southern Area company (known as MESA) and in other modern comedies, playing to the armed forces all along the South Coast of England during the Second World War and later trained as an actor for two terms at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art.

Rejected for World War II naval service because of asthma, Sinden joined a theatrical company that entertained soldiers, sailors and airmen during the war.

In 1942, in Hove, Sinden befriended Lord Alfred Douglas (known as "Bosie"), who had been Oscar Wilde's lover. He is believed to have been the last surviving person to have known Douglas.

YOUR fifty classic films have been rediscovered. After BRIAN VINER's Top 100 films list, our readers responded with a passionate tweet, so here are our favorites — as well as his verdict

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 6, 2024
BRIAN VINER: If I compiled my list again today, I still wouldn't have space for The Italian Job, Forrest Gump, The Great Escape, or Titanic, which all of which encouraged readers to write in. By the way, that doesn't mean I don't like or even love those photos (although not Titanic), which makes me wish the iceberg would strike a bit sooner). Here is a list of the Top 20 movies you should have included in my Top 100 list, as well as your reasons for... The Shawshank Redemption (left), Mary Poppins (right), and Saving Private Ryan (inset).

Jeffrey Archer recalls a few of the best times in his career, from Margaret Thatcher flirting with Donald Sinden to Cilla Black's chinwag with Betty Boothroyd

My wife Mary and I will dine our last champagne and shepherd's pie party at our London penthouse overlooking the Thames this year. I'm sad, of course, but this Christmas season is winding down because the visitors, a majority of whom are senior fogeys like me, are finding it difficult to stand for two-and-a-half hours. After hosting 200 or so guests a night, I'm 83 and I'm really tired. In mid-December, we always have two parties on consecutive evenings, and I'll be on my feet for the duration of the evening, while the guests' glasses are topped, from actors to politicians, academics, scientists, and singers.

actress SHEILA HANCOCK, 90, renders a verdict on everything from Covid to cancel culture

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 3, 2023
SHEILA HANCOCK; I confess that I am getting anxious about expressing opinion now. (Not often! (I hear you yell at me.) 'Cancelled' is a threat. That word doesn't seem threatening. Ancestral from childhood, Erased from life. My grandchildren are always reminding me, "You can't say that Nana" or "You can't use that word." It seems that I say the right words rather than that I say what I feel.
