We have heard from Tim Graham that his father, Eddie has died, aged 89. Eddie would be better known to JWS members as William Graham who starred as William in two post-war films: Just William’s Luck (1947) and William Goes to the Circus (aka William Comes to Town) (1948).
He took a keen interest in the Society. In our magazine No. 2, David Schutte describes tracing and visiting him at his home with the subsequent long interview appearing in this and the following magazine. At David’s suggestion he attended our 1996 meeting in Leicester and Paula describes in the same magazine the presentation he gave, with amusing stories of the shooting of the films and extracts from them.
In Magazine no 34 Alan Ring describes how he and Mary Cadogan met him in 2014 at a special William evening at London’s Cinema Museum. Again he amused the audience with his stories of the making of the films.
Our condolences go to Tim and all members of his family.
