...a little late, perhaps. However, my eternal pash for the lovely Michael York continues unabated, as the man himself celebrated his 80th birthday on Sunday. Gulp.
Fifteen years ago, I had this to say about the man, in the context of a celebration of the film Cabaret [which is itself 60 years old this year]:
Definitely my favourite film ever, it made a legendary star of our own Liza Minelli, for which we are eternally grateful... The brilliant Joel Grey as "Emcee" is forever etched on our musical psyche too.But as a young gay lad growing up in closeted Welsh society, for me it was the glowing screen presence of the superbly sexy Michael York that made the film as a whole that bit more special. I was truly, madly, deeply in love with him, and to this day even as a veteran of more than 130 screen appearances he still makes me quite weak at the knees...
I stand by that statement.
Many happy returns, Michael York OBE (born Michael Hugh Johnson, 27th March 1942)
I would have gotten into bed with Michael York quicker then a New York minute honey.

DeleteOh, what a strange coincidence... I just wrote something snarky about Michael York yesterday... oh, no, it's for a post that out two weeks after tomorrow, but how odd that I should bring him up and here it is... his BD. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteSnarky? About my beloved Michael? How very dare you?! Jx
DeleteHere's what I wrote about Mr. York:
Delete"I always thought Michael York would make a great ventriloquist dummy."
Hee hee.
As long as it was my hand up his back... Jx
