The JOHN THAW STORY on YouTube


John Thaw 1942-2002 
Missed but not forgotten.

I watched his life story and now I love him even more. 
It's 50 minutes long. Be sure and watch if you are a fan.

If you want to go directly to YouTube, here's the link:

Enjoy!

UPDATE: I found a link for his body of work. He was a very prolific actor/producer and he signed a contract for another film project the day before he died.

tammy j -- Tam, The movie made me love John Thaw even more. The only thing it did not mention was his slight limp. I googled it and found out he tripped while running for the school bus and broke his foot when he was in his teens. He probably didn't have proper medical care back then. I want to see his entire body of work too. xo, Rosemary

Rosemary, I just finished watching The John Thaw Story and look forward to seeing his work. So interesting that in addition to being a fine actor, he was considered an upright, fine person, also.

Thank you Rosemary. I've added Inspector Morse to our list of shows to watch. I also recognized John's wife as an important actress, having seen her recently in "Delicious".

itztru -- I saw her in "Delicious" too. She is around 84 years old now and still acting. All three daughters are actresses too. His wife is in one of the episodes of Kavanaugh QC. Enjoy watching all the old episodes of Inspector Morse. xo, Rosemary

Pam -- His talent helped him beat the odds of his tragic childhood. I am so glad to learn he had happiness in his personal life and was admired by all. I read that Prince Charles and Tony Blair attended his memorial service. xo, Rosemary

Thank you for the seed packet designs (and growing an idea in my head). The club I belong to is having its annual banquet soon, and I was trying to think of something for the ladies in hopes they will get the idea to promote the group and what we do.
