This fanvid is really, really old (it was originally a real media file, which says it all really) and no it is not one of mine but I still love it. In memory of Tony Head.

Anthony Head Memories

An archive of stories, memories and tributes for actor Anthony Head

Like everyone here, I'm utterly devastated and heartbroken by the loss of our wonderful Anthony Stewart Head.

I've created this space which hopefully will be somewhere to share all of our stories and memories of him and what he meant to us. Please feel free to contribute yours and share with any other ASH fans in your life.

RIP Tony, we will love and miss you always. ❤️

Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed, and very dear.

I started to read an interview of Paul McCartney about the adoption of Martha, but I ended up reading another love confession for John(?) .

"Because my mum and dad both worked and were out all day, and my brother Mike and I were at school, there was no one to look after a dog. I remember one time we heard tell of puppies being given away in the next street, so we legged it round the corner, where, sure enough, there was a litter of puppies. We took a very cute little puppy home, but my mother told us we couldn't keep it. We were crestfallen. Totally crushed.

"When I grew up and was in The Beatles, I had a house of my own in London. More than that, I actually had a housekeeper looking after the house. The time was ripe to get a dog. I had always liked the look of Old English sheepdogs, so I went along to a place in Milton Keynes, about an hour north of London, and selected this little dog. I named her Martha.

"I'm pretty sure I was taken by Old English sheepdogs because of those television ads for Dulux paint. Dulux had started using an Old English sheepdog as a brand mascot back in 1961. It's a terrible thing to admit, but I'm a sucker for ads. The Dulux dog looked so loveable."

"Anyhow, I got Martha and she was a lovely little dog. I just adored her. One of the unlikely side effects was that John became very sympathetic towards me. When he came round and saw me playing with Martha, I could tell that he liked her. John was a very guarded person, which was partly where all his wit came from. He'd had a very difficult upbringing, what with his father leaving home, his uncle dying, and his mother getting killed in a traffic accident. By the time I knew him, he could be very sarcastic. Not that I couldn't be too. It was my own way of dealing with my mother's death, I expect. We were both quite into the witty put-down. But seeing me with Martha, with my guard down, all of a sudden he started warming to me. And so he let his guard down too."

Paul quoted in his 2021 book 'The Lyrics', co-authored with Paul Muldoon.

Born in June 1966 and acquired by Paul that October, Martha lived until 1981. 1968 photos by Linda Eastman.
