Here is the biography:
Born in Liverpool, England, the subject's life began with a unique family dynamic. His father, a merchant seaman, had previously lived in New York for several years, where he had an unexpected encounter with his first cousin, the late Billy Washington. This chance meeting led to a connection with Billy's daughter, the late Patricia Hardy, who was married to the renowned actor Richard Egan. When the subject's father returned to Liverpool, he met his future wife, Anastasia, and the family began to take shape.
The subject was one of six siblings, with four sisters and one brother. However, tragedy struck when his younger sister, Shirley Marie, passed away in her twenties due to a heart condition. This devastating loss occurred during the 1983 Christmas season, while the family was visiting relatives in Australia. In a poignant coincidence, the subject was performing in the stage production "The Land of Oz" as the Tin Woodman during this time.
