Handrejka 1,861 Posted January 8, 2017 Simon Parkin was my first thought but he still seems to be around, presenting the whether or something. I always wonder what happened to Nula Conwell (The Bill, Only Fools and Horses). She doesn't seem to have been in anything for ages. Talking of Only Fools, whatever happened to Gwyneth Strong? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 15,347 Posted January 8, 2017 With actors, they sometimes concentrate on theatre work, which tends to get them less media coverage than film and TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WednesdayAddams 102 Posted January 8, 2017 With actors, they sometimes concentrate on theatre work, which tends to get them less media coverage that film and TV. That's a good point, Toast, but also some actors and performers disappear from screens because they divert to other backstage areas. I know a very famous face from children's telly in the 80s when I was a kid, Paul Hendy, is now one of the biggest Pantomime producers in the country. Also, Roger De Courcey of Nookie Bear fame struck up a lucrative side line in theatrical parties for opening nights and wrap parties and has grown from there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,736 Posted January 8, 2017 Possibly not celebrity enough, but probably enough for an obit - Charles Ingram, the Coughing Cheating Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Pillock, now hawks his wife's home made jewellery around country fayres and Christmas markets, and she still looks like the Child Catcher.

WednesdayAddams 102 Posted January 8, 2017 For some reason I've just been reminded of James Harries. Now Lauren Harries. Child 'prodigy' and antiques expert. Since TV fame in the 70s he/she has led a life which needs to comedy to enrich the fable. Currently holed in somewhere in sunny Wales practising Buddhism.

Spade_Cooley 9,181 Posted January 8, 2017 There's plenty of half-written articles about there regarding "where" Duffy is now, but there's pretty much fuck all explaining how she went from being bigger than Adele to absolutely vanishing off the face of the earth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,180 Posted January 8, 2017 What ever happened to Wincey Willis? Another one of your teenage crusty-sock victims, I'll wager. Oh no!!!!

Good shout. Do you think it had anything to do with the way she was managed? It wouldn't be the first time somebody's career was all but ended when their agents were such arseholes nobody wanted to deal with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
