There’s a great clip on YouTube of Mays appearing as the mystery guest on What’s My Line? in 1954 (not long before the WS and his catch against Cleveland).

Talking of sporting personalities active in the 1950s (though I don't suppose 293 appearances for Workington quite matches Willie Mays' celebrity), it was nice to see Keith Burkinshaw in the crowd at Tottenham at the weekend. 88.

He's not that famous but his face is certainly familiar, British actor Oscar Quitak, who is 97. Also he was married for 62 years to the actress Andree Melly, who died in 2020, and who was George Melly's sister!
― Nine Inch Males (Tom D.), Friday, 22 December 2023 19:51 (two years ago)
Andree Melly was a regular on Hancock’s Half Hour and appeared in Hammer’s Brides of Dracula. I knew her nephew in the 1990s and he told me that his aunt was totally nonplussed about being regularly contacted by Hammer fans asking her about a job of work 35 years ago. She didn’t want to know about fandom or conventions and I don’t think she ever really changed her mind.

I keep seeing the name Troy Kennedy Martin in TV adverts for the film, "Ferrari", and I keep thinking, "Is he still alive?" But he isn't, he died on 2009. However his brother, Ian Kennedy Martin, the guy who created "The Sweeney", is. He's 87.
