Hello friends, back here in London and having a good time. I am seriously indulging myself looking back, seeing old friends and remembering past escapades. Yesterday I went to a screening of THE DANISH GIRL, interesting film, but it did not really get to me.. I loved SUFFRAGETTE, seen the other evening. It really knocked the…
A couple of years ago two lovely ladies came and interviewed me in London. Jackie and Nicky Smith were starting a film festival in Wolverhampton. Zzub Film Festival is a fun, daring saucy event dedicated to pulp, trash, sci- fi, horror and all that sort of stuff. This year it will be entirely online. They…
So Halloween is here. A big night for Kids and Adults…everyone gets dressed up and play it seems, though I think it’s only the kids that ask for candy on the walk about around the neighbourhood. Hmmm…maybe not. We didn’t have Halloween in England, when I was growing up…couldn’t afford it and for a while…
I am currently watching reruns of the old comedy show HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. Don’t know quite why I like it so much, but the characters are unfailingly sweet, without being saccharine and they make me laugh. I just watched one of the actors Jason Segel in an outstanding film THE END OF THE…
Had a great day, a week ago shooting a new short film COUGAR, which I wrote and put together. The actual shoot went incredibly well, considering that it was more complicated than desirable, for a one day scheduled shoot with quite a few extras, a large restaurant location and a few location changes, but…
Hello everyone….I am just getting ready to shoot another short film on Monday. This one is contemporary, written by yours truly and a fun story… I hope. It is called COUGAR, which will give you some idea of what it is about. It is “mit out sound’ as Otto Preminger used to say: ie: silent,…
Well it seems you were not too interested in my adventures in the life of Commerce in the UK and running the Family Business, so I will revert to more familiar territory and write more about good old Show Biz. When you’re on set and doing the job…ie: acting, you generally have to stay mentally…
In 1965 my father William Merrow built up a great little alternate career and business in the Multi- lingual Recruitment field. He did incredibly well and by 1992, Merrow Employment Agency Ltd had a great reputation and an enviable turnover. Then it all went pear shaped, as is the way of the world and I…
Good times were undoubtedly with David Hemmings. We had a great, fun together as a couple and although he would drive me mad with his unreliability, his ability to quaff large amounts of alcohol and his roving eye, his attentiveness and care of me was a joy. I was dealing with personal issues at the…
I am happy to report that Life is pretty good at the moment. The big one ALONE AROUND THE WORLD is moving right along, with writing about to recommence. I have had a nice invitation to return to the UK to make an appearance at the Hammer Horror convention in November, with the possibility of…
