Paul Eddington(1927-1995)

Five days before dying, he gave a very moving interview in Paul Eddington (1995), an episode from the revival of Face to Face (1959). He discussed his childhood and parents, his schooling as a Quaker, his acting career, the challenges of having an unknown illness followed by a decade knowing that it would be fatal, and how his skin condition made it no longer possible to be cast for television. With typical modesty, he said that his epitaph should simply be, "He did very little harm".

People abroad tended to play safe and treat me as a minister, just in case.
