Dirk Bogarde's centenary
Dirk Bogarde's centenary

28th March 2021 marked the centenary of Dirk Bogarde’s birth.

I knew this fine screen actor quite well in the 1980s. In those days I was a television producer and I was fortunate to make a documentary with and about him at his home in Châteauneuf de Grasse, in the South of France.

As one might expect, so experienced a film-maker was he that he was very easy to work with, and he knew all about camera angles, voice levels and all the rest.

After the documentary was broadcast, we began a lengthy correspondence over some years. He was an avid letter-writer, and his missives were badly typed and strewn with hand-written corrections – so they were always a delight to read.

Here he is, after we'd finished filming, with Elaine Grand, the estimable television presenter and interviewer, and a startlingly slim me. And (below) with Labo, his adored street dog which he found and adopted while filming in Rome.

There’s a little more about him (and another image) here.
