KENNETH WILLIAMS recites a verse from one of his favourite poems, "The Garden of Proserpine" by Algernon Charles Swinburne (English poet, novelist and critic | 1837 - 1909), on HTV's "Recollections", broadcast 22/09/1987 ... less than 7 months before his untimely death in April 1988. 🥀

Yet again, I agree with Kenneth ... it is absolutely him and beautiful indeed! ✨️❤️‍🩹

This Day in Buster...June 29, 1956 The Kansas City Star prints an interview with Buster Keaton and Donald O'Connor as they practice some of Buster's stunts for "The Buster Keaton Story." "Buster has taught me many of the falls, but there are a few I'm having trouble with. Like the 'teacup roll.' That's where you do a backward somersault while holding a teacup in one hand and not spilling it. I have to hold it in my left hand, and I'm not so good at it."
