Newley/1965", 4½x3 card. Magazine photograph, color, 1½x2¾, affixed at left
margin. Multitalented British entertainer Anthony Newley (1931-1999), born
George Anthony Newley, was nominated for six Tony Awards: four in 1963
for Stop the World - I Want to Get Off, for which he was
nominated for Best Actor (Musical), Best Author (Musical), Best Composer and
Lyricist, and two in 1965 for The Roar of the Greasepaint -- The Smell of
the Crowd, for which he was nominated for Best Director (Musical) and
Best Composer and Lyricist. Newley, who began his show business career on
the stage at the age of 14, first gained notice in films as the Artful Dodger in
Oliver Twist (1948). After making his film debut a year earlier
(Dusty Bates, 1947), he would go on to star in a number of films
through 1992 (Boris and Natasha), most notably The Cockleshell
Heroes (1955), Doctor Doolitle (1967) and The Old Curiosity
Shop (1975). Newley was also featured in a long list of made-for-TV
movies, and he guest starred on a long list of TV shows from 1956
(Colonel March of Scotland Yard) to 1998 (EastEnders). A
talented singer as well as writer, producer and director, Newley had
his first hit song, "Idle on Parade" in the late 1950s, and he would go
on to chart seven times, including two No. 1 singles ("Why?" and "Do You
Mind?"), in 1960. Newley also co-composed (with Leslie Bricusse) a number of hit
songs, including "The Candy Man" and "Goldfinger". His second wife
(1963-1970) was actress Joan Collins, with whom he had two children.
