Susanne, the article I had from the New York Times said that he was still working a month ago on a film (a Samuel Beckett play being filmed by David Mamet). I think he gave up full time stage acting about 5 years so. He did a radio play of King Lear on or about his 90th birthday.

Concerning his arrest in the early 1950's, he was as often happened then arrested for simple soliciting. I recall that he was only fined. There was a movement to have him disbarred from the British equivalent of the Actor's Union, so that he could not work on stage, but there was a huge rally of support for him, and it did not come to pass. It was all kept out of the papers at the time. He has said that that was the closest he ever came to suicide. His partner Martin died a year or so ago.

yours, Peter T.
