Stanley Baker was a famous actor who starred in Zulu

He was spotted by a local drama teacher, Glyn Morse.

He made his movie debut as a teenager in Undercover, and after carying out military service also starred in All Over The Moon and The Good Die Young.

His most famous role was that of Lt John Chard in Zulu, made by his own production company.

His career was cut short in 1976 by his death from lung cancer in Spain at the age of 49.

Only a month earlier he had been granted a knighthood, although he was never to officially receive the honour many felt he deserved.
