Famous faces

[no_cars_go]

I've spoken to her briefly and she's always been very nice. I like her a lot, not seen her "look at me house" - is it really wierd or something? (Although I do agree Jo Brand is cooler, fact).

And yes it was definitely Joanna Page, I didn't know Lesley sharpe was around here.

Seen someone who looked alot like Jacko from Brushstrokes, Huw Edwards and the above bloke from the office in Herne Hill but not all at the same time. That would be too much excitement.

[Mogs]

Huw Edwards great I've never meet anyone else from Llanelli in London - except my dad when he visits

>>She was the Polish nanny in Brookside inearly 90s<<

Um yes but she has also had two different roles in "Coronation Street", a long run in "Heartbeat" and fairly recently played a bent femme fatale senior cop in "The Bill"...

neve campbell was in the George Canning a couple of Saturdays ago

[Keef]

Oh my God she's awesome!!!!!!!!

[scor46]

she spent the whole nite here drinking large glasses of red vino. At roughly the witching hour... she waved her little phone in the air and a silver bentley whisked her away to pastures less appealing....

[Brendan]

You now out of all the ?famous? people mentioned here she is the only one whose name I recognized.

Still had to google it to find out who she was though.

Saw the Tracey-from-Corrie actress today in SMBS. And, help me out here, there's a bloke who is an actor and looks a bit like Oliver Tobias but has a more-cleft chin, dark hair, tall and broad. I have seen himm around a few times on LL and just can't place him and it's annoying. Anyone know who I mean? Nero

[Jah Lush]

I think I know who you mean Nero but I don't know his name. Used to be a villian in Eastenders and also appeared in The Bill.

[Nero]

I don't think it is the Bill actor who was in it for ages. It's someone else, I think. Nero

[Ted Max]

Local "faces" have appeared in the last two Empire's Children series on C4. I'd wager Adrian Lester was cringing (a lot) less watching his programme last night than Jenny Eclair was during hers last week.

[dulwichmum]

Are all of our bathing opportunities to be plagued by preditors (sharks)? Jah Lush, you know me so well!

[Mark]

outside the Bishop tonight was a lady, blonde, attractive and in a soap but I can't recall which one. Not Holby, Hollyoaks, Benders and it's really bugging me, does anyone know who she is?

oh, and it wasn't the girl from Castway but similar looking

[dulwichmum]

Was it June Whitfield?

Steve Hartley! Clockhouse regular I think

[mockney piers]

Mark, was it Benson?

 

[Mark]

What you talkin' about Willis?

Sorry, I assume you mean Benson the Different Strokes, nope, definitely not

[mockney piers]

yeah, lame joke referencing soap, his precursor to diff'rent strokes. *hangs head in shame*

[Parker's Folly]

It seems that 90% of the "famous" people spotted in East Dulwich are all out of Soap Operas - how sad. Where are the really famous people?

[Asset]

Dulwich Village

[Louisa]

Most of the really famous ED faces (non-soap opera) are sadly six feet under.

[mockney piers]

You say sadly, but Charlie Chaplin would be a pretty disturbing sight if he was still going today.

Could you imagine Dick Emery in a dress at the age of 93?!

[Asset]

Charlie Chaplin seems to have occupied several houses of South London. He was born in East Street and a house in Kennington also claims him as a resident. Do we know where in ED he lived? He was involved in a theatre in Camberwell I think.

*digs trench, puts on tin hat and peers over sandbags*

Could you enlighten us a little on this please Louisa? Perhaps mention a few names.
