Richard O'Sullivan has died

He was lovely as a pupil in Carry on Teacher (1959) which is a really sweet film if you get the chance.

Everything about him here, and wow he was in a lot of movies and TV series!

The Cleopatra film must have been quite a coup for a young actor, playing the brother of Elizabeth Taylor and having to act with her and Richard Burton!

I loved him. i remember him playing hard done by schoolboys in films and he played Elizabeth Taylor's brother in Cleopatra. In 1963 I had a holiday job with some girls who knew him, but sadly I never got to meet him.

Wasn’t Pearl Carr married to Teddy Johnson?
That’s if my memory serves me correctly…

Oh no - didn’t realise Mike Yarwood is dead. I loved his shows

Aely

I didn't know Mike Yarwood was dead! I think it was Richard O'Sullivan who played in a Celebrity football match locally many, many years ago.

I remember Mick McManus. That was in the days of Jackie Pallo and the Giant Haystack. I liked the tag wrestling best.

We always used to watch the wrestling with my dad. I remember Jackie Palow, Billy two Rivers and I think it was Ricky Starr Every Saturday afternoon….
Those certainly were the days……🙂

I had forgotten he was married to Tessa Wyatt.
I guess that was after her marriage to Tony Blackburn.

I didn’t know Mike Yarwood was dead either.

He lived in a retirement home for actors

Perhaps this was better, looks like Mike Yarwood is there too. I imagine that for show business veterans it must be reassuring to be with those they recognise or have had similar careers.

He lived in a retirement home for actors

Glad to see at least his stroke left him still able to walk, but terrible he had to spend that length of time in a nursing home.

I was just about to say that he was far too young, hadn't realised he was 82. I'm just remembering him as he was years ago.

RIP Richard

I recall him in Man About the House and Robin’s Nest. Always liked him but didn’t see much of him after these two sitcoms.
Thoughts are with his loved ones and friends 💐

He lived in our village with Tessa Wyatt. He kept a very low profile.

Here he is with Mike Yarwood at the Care Home. It's sad that he ended up in care for so many years instead of living a free life with a partner, but at least he was cared for after his stroke.

He was a lovely man, talented and funny in a good clean way, not like so many since.

Dick Turpin is on 6.25pm Talking Pictures tomorrow Saturday Remember that? He was also handsome and dashing! 😍

I think it was the same care home as Mike Yarwood was in.

An actor’s rest home.

Very sad. He was a very good and entertaining actor (plus handsome too!)

wasn't he in a nursing home last few years? i thought he was gorgeous when he was in Man About The House which was and still is one of my favorite comedies.
that Adam Faith Georgie Best Richard O'Sullivan and Richard Beckinsale were all on my bedroom wall!

He has been in a care home for 23 years following a dreadful Stroke. RIP Richard. You gave us lots of laughs.

He was a very good looking and funny man.

I had a huge crush on him when he appeared in Doctor At Large in the 70's.
Sad to hear that he has died.
