just annouced it. [The hidden truth I'm ready to face at last... I'm gay: Stanley Baxter, 94, braveley tells all about the sexuality he still wrestles with and the guilt he feels about wife who took her life] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-wrestles.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Baxter [Stanley and Moira (left and right) on their honeymoon in London in 1952.

Oh no, I'm English

Can't help feeling that thread title is somewhat at odds with that paragraph about his wife's suicide.

[He saw Moira frequently, but the fractured marriage was always difficult.
In 1997, he decided to spend a month at the villa they owned in Cyprus. She wanted to come, too. Feeling she was too ill to travel, Baxter told her she must stay in London. He took her passport, to prevent her from trying to follow him. 'It was then she physically attacked me. She punched me and my glasses flew off. It was the one and only time she had ever reacted in this way. But immediately afterwards she was so sorry.'] Last edited by arista; 02-11-2020 at 09:44 AM. |

Sure Tragic.

[Baxter was known for his impressions of
famous people, particularly The Queen (referred to in the context of the shows as 'the Duchess of Brendagh'). The Stanley Baxter Show ran between 1963 and 1971 on BBC One, and the Stanley Baxter Picture Show from 1972 to 1975 on ITV; the six-part Stanley Baxter Series was made by LWT in 1981. Eight one-hour TV specials were made by LWT and the BBC between 1973 and 1986.] Last edited by arista; 02-11-2020 at 10:11 AM. |

she let him bring lovers to the house in Hampstead so why couldn't she go to Cyprus, withholding her passport was abusive in the extreme

So many entertainers have been found to be thoroughly unpleasant people out of the limelight

The only surprise here is that he is alive.
Thought he died years ago. |

she reacted to his abusive behaviour, okay she shouldn't have got physical but it appears she put up with quite a lot over the years and snapped?
