Lordy. The suave, sophisticated, and damned sexy Mr Anthony Andrews is seventy years old today!
In his five-decade career, Mr Andrews had starring roles in Danger UXB, Ivanhoe, The Scarlet Pimpernel and, latterly, The King's Speech, as well as numerous stage appearances.
However, it is for his masterful portrayal of the damaged and decadent Lord Sebastian Flyte in my all-time favourite television series Brideshead Revisited for which he will be eternally remembered.
A character that the book's author Evelyn Waugh fancifully based on aristocratic eccentrics such as (his former lover) Alastair Hugh Graham and the notorious Stephen Tennant, Sebastian famously spent his entire life wafting about in a perpetual drunken stupor, accompanied by his faithful teddy bear Aloysius...
...and in a link that is tenuous, to say the least, here's a "bear-related" number to get our hips moving this weekend!
Thank Disco It's Friday - "hoo-hah, hoo-hah"!
...and many happy returns, Anthony Colin Gerald Andrews (born 12th January 1948)
Cheers darling for a good weekend!!!! That,dirty got my going. 🍸🍸🍸
