I was born sept 17th 1999 the day he passes away. Im an actress from london with a similar background and i just find him so relatable. I totally look up to him and find him inspiring. What a legacy he left
My late mother told me a story many years ago ! Frankie was offered a huge glitzy contract to star in a movie I believe it was ‘Some like it hot’ co starring The late Marilyn Monroe and a once in a lifetime to break into Hollywood and a movie career, his wife did not want to uproot and leave England he declined the opportunity putting his wife first !! Devotion and loyalty you don’t see much of that these days !
Remembering my dear old friend, Haydn Blair Walbrook. He looked a ringer for Frankie & would serenade the ladies who came over looking for an autograph. Great times in the bar at The Imperial Hotel, Blackpool. RIP old friend!
My Mam and Dad went to see him in concert and my Dad let slip that he was the best looking fella he had ever seen. He never ever lived that down, bless him. Mam loved this song. She passed yesterday. RIP Mum.
