Antony Hamilton(1952-1995)

Worked as a model for 10 years before taking up acting. He often appeared in magazines such as Vogue and GQ, becoming a favorite subject of world-famous photographers as Richard Avedon and Bruce Weber, and working for fashion designers such as for instance Gianni Versace.

(On having to do filming on two different projects at once, Mirrors (1985) (TV) and "Cover Up" (1984)): I'd get up at 5 for Mirrors, be on that set all day, start work on Cover Up at 7 P.M., work until 2 A.M., and then start the whole cycle over again. A couple of times they had to fly me from one set to another by helicopter. At one point, I called my father in Australia to bitch about this backbreaking schedule. Dad said, "Let me tell you a war story. In the Battle of Britain, I fought the Luftwaffe every day from 3 A.M. until midnight. My valet had to get me up after two hours' sleep. He'd be court-martialled if he didn't have my signature on his wake-up slip. And that went on for months. So don't complain, son." I stopped complaining.
