Fergus Provan

Article Abstract:

Chef and restaurateur Fergus Provan opened his first restaurant in Oct 1968, at the age of 27. This establishment, situated next to the Brompton Cemetery in London, England, was opened in partnership with Stewart Grimshaw. This was a crowded, comfortable restaurant, focusing on high quality, fresh food in unpretentious surroundings. He was greatly influenced by Walter Baxter, and the two men eventually had a 30-year partnership.

David Warbeck

Article Abstract:

Actor David Warbeck initially trained as an arts teacher, but also became involved in amateur dramatics. He gained a New Zealand Arts Council scholarship to RADA, and came to the UK in 1965. He failed to finish his drama studies, but gained his first major film role in 1971, in the Hammer horror film 'Twins of Evil.' His rugged good looks also allowed him to gain work as a model, and he appeared in many Italian action films.
