Celebrity Exchange?
Reply Quote
Two British household names have homes very close to me (jolly nice people they are too). My sister has just informed me that a (fairly) well known French "personality" now lives near her in London.

Can members who subscribe to either Hello or OK magazine please confirm or deny this potential trend?

Never found a good Weismuller biography (I think his son wrote one). He's a favorite of mine and lived a hell of a life - olympic golds (in two sports), plenty of wives, movies, parties etc - about time someone made a film about him (p'haps they have?).

Based on our straw poll of 3 members - it's official: the French stars are moving to London and the Brits are coming here (Weismuller's dead - when was he living in Europe?).  Does anyone NOT from Wales know who Owen Money is Smile [:)] ? I'd guess he'd only have to move to Gloucester to avoid the paparazzi!

Johnny Weissmuller lived in Bray at sometime when my mother was living there so beweem 1921 and 1939 I guess. The rented house he lived in backed onto the house she lived in. I guess he was making a film at Pinewood or possibly even Bray Studios (although I doubt that)

I'll ask her.....

Heres the book by his son:

Daniel Day Lewis lives near my parents. But that's in Ireland.
An apology is a good way to have the last word.

I had to interview Mac Donald Hobley and his wife Dougie to see if they were suitable tenants? One interesting thing I found out was that he was born on the Falkland Isles,his father was the Vicar/Priest[one or the other ] and Mac was awarded the Freedom of the Falklands.

 Still seeking my 15 minutes of fame.

Regards
