Movie stars I loved as a kid - Mary Peach

She isn't well-known in the USA because she stopped acting in Hollywood movies in 1963 after her last movie here, A Gathering of Eagles, with Rock Hudson. She was born 20 October 1934 in my home town, Durban, South Africa. Her first movie was Room at the Top with another South African actor, Laurence Harvey.

Currently we are watching her in the mini-series, Disraeli, about the first (and only) Jewish Prime Minister of the UK. She plays Disraeli's wife, Mary Ann, who was 16 years older than him.

I mentioned to Chas and Andy that she was a babe in the Sixties. So here are a few pics to prove it.

From Fred Thompson's blog, Fred08 on November 26th, 2007:

More Praise for Fred’s Tax Relief Plan - Patrick Joubert Conlon at Born Again Redneck called the plan, “music to a businessman’s ears.”

C.D. Jewell,

Liberalstein,

"This blog interested me first because of the title. But the quality of Patrick Joubert Conlon's writing has kept me coming back. His style is not presumptuous or pompous or condescending; it's plain and simple. Good old American English. Which is funny because Mr. Conlon was born and lived in South Africa for his first twenty one years and after that spent eight years in England before finding his home here in the U. S. His blog provides a rare outsider/insider perspective on the U. S. of A. He's been linked to by CNN on a couple of occasions and one of his posts was cited by the official Fred08 website. He does a lot of politics but also some lighter fare as well. He frequently posts spectacular photos taken on his Oregon farm."
