Author Bernard Cornwell (no relation to Judy) is 79 today. Famous for his historical novels, notably the Sharpe books and the Saxon Stories (featuring Uhtred son of Uhtred), he now lives in the United States with his wife, who is American, and is now a US citizen.

 

His father was William Outghred, a Canadian airman, and his mother, Dorothy Cornwell, a British member of the WAAF, and he was adopted by the Wiggins family, pacifists who were members of the Peculiar People. He initially used Cornwell as a pen name but changed his name by deed poll when his adoptive father died. He is, through his natural father, a descendant of Uhtred the Bold, on whom the Saxon Stories are based.

British singer/actor Jess Conrad is 87 today. He began as an actor, and got his break into music when playing a postar on a TV play, he was noticed by Jack Good, producer of Oh Boy!, and invited onto the show. This lead to a recording contract and a few minor hits in the early 60s. He appeared in stage shows and TV throughout his career, includingas Mr Walpole, head of sportin goods in Are You Being Served, and as a semi-regular during Jim Davidson's Generation Game (he's also appeared on TV with N*gel Fa**ge, so somewhat dubious taste in some of the company he keeps) and has featured as a talking head in numerous TV & music retrospectives & documentaries.

 

In 1977, listener's to Capital FM's Kenny Everett Show voted in 7 of his records as "The World's Worst" with his This Pullover coming sixth worst of all time. (I've just had idea for the next Kill or Save...)

 

He's been married to Renee, a former "Camay Girl" (as in the soap) for nearly 60 years, and knows/has known just about everyone.
