Stanley Baxter

As a youth in 1940's Glasgow Stanley spent as much time as possible at the Grosvenor Cinema even skipping school. His father was a branch manager of Commercial Union while his mother would have liked to have been an actress, When the family agreed that acting was respectable his mother took him round halls where he gave renderings of Harry Lauder and Mae West, Schooling eventually came to a stop which disappointed his father who'd wanted him to be a doctor. His father died he'd lived long enough to know that Stanley was going to do well. He eventually moved South with his wife, Moira, and proceeded to established himself in London on his own terms with a reputation of being a perfectionist,
