Transcript for Vincent Hessey - famous actors

The Royal Court Theatre is still there (points to a map). All of the top actors in the day, doing theatre, would stay in the Stork Hotel so they were walking right past our stall. I mean I can tell you I’ve seen David Niven in the past, I’ve seen David Nixon who used to be a conjurer, I’ve seen lots of famous people just walking past the stall and they’d say good morning to you and I’d say ‘alright mate how you doing?’ It was fantastic!
