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? Holiday and Property Guide for Nice and the Cote d'Azur    Report

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 ? I'd guess he'd only have to move to Gloucester to avoid the paparazzi! Holiday and Property Guide for Nice and the Cote d'Azur    Report

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: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tarzan-My-Father-William-Reed/dp/1550225227/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204027988&sr=1-12 www.quimperclub.org 99    Report

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.

Well clearly I have left the celeb culture well behind me because I have no idea who any of these "celebs" are with the exception of Johnny Weismuller and Ernie Wise. Are the others famous for anything other than being famous? Should I have heard of them?    Report
