Didn't recognise the name at all but recognised him as soon as I looked him up. I would have thought of him as an actor from a lomg time ago. His memoirs published in 2004 sound interesting. The Daily Mail has quite a long obituary: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8933087/The-Dam-Busters-star-John-Fraser-dies-aged-89.html

I only became aware of him when I looked up the name after watching the excellent Tunes of Glory not too long ago.

Going by the obituary, he certainly lived a colourful life and to be openly gay during his time couldn't have been an easy option with most other gay actors being very much in the closet.

RIP John
