Not bad by the time you have barely reached <br />30 years of age. Richard Todd's life has been an incredible, and at times tragic, journey and fascinating too. Surely he deserved a Knighthood.Neilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-82902961763359942942009-10-17T10:25:26.414-07:002009-10-17T10:25:26.414-07:00I just had to buy this postcard.

He would have been 32 at that time and Joan Rice must have only just turned 21. Within 18 months of this picture she would have completed Robin Hood, been to Hollywood and gone out and returned from Fiji to film His Majesty O Keefe. What an incredible time in her life it must have been as she rocketed to fame from humble beginnings. I for one really admire her for these acheivements.Neilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-4260627059749575632009-10-16T11:17:05.986-07:002009-10-16T11:17:05.986-07:00Thats a nice still clement, theres a similar one i...Thats a nice still clement, theres a similar one i think i may have sent you with a tree and a carved heart. a handsom pair huh?.Mike Giddenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05051498498883654880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-75262043811554025812009-10-16T09:20:10.977-07:002009-10-16T09:20:10.977-07:00Richard Todd and Joan Rice Postcard
