Famous People From Bournemouth
Famous People With A Bournemouth Connection
When I was growing up in the Poole/Bournemouth area I never realised at the time that it was the home to so many famous people. I never imagined that Bournemouth was associated with famous musicians, actors, authors or other celebrities, and spies too! Bournemouth has also had more than its fair share of spies who have a connection to this seaside town.
There are many more famous people from Bournemouth than you might imagine, especially if you include famous people who have lived in Bournemouth and not just those who were born or died in Bournemouth.
It was not until I was doing research on my original Bournemouth page here that I discovered that the list of celebrities is actually rather large, too large in fact to dedicate a whole section to everyone who has a connection with Bournemouth. This list is still growing as I come across even more people connected to the area. Please feel free to leave a comment if I have missed someone out or if you have additional information.
With Bournemouth being a popular seaside town on the South Coast of England, and a highly desirable place to retire to as well, there are many well known people who have a connection to Bournemouth now or have had one in the past.
Even our next door neighbours when I was growing up had a connection to show-business. My Mum excitedly called me one day to say that Bruce Forsyth and Morecombe And Wise had visited next door. Sadly we no longer live in the affluent village of Lilliput, on the edge of Sandbanks. My Mum sold the house that I grew up in in 1978 for £25,000. Today it's worth well over £600,000. If only we knew back then.
But back to the page and the list of Famous People from Bournemouth.
I hope you enjoy exploring the list, and if you find that you know someone with a Bournemouth connection who is no on it, please let me know. You can add details of other people from Bournemouth that I have missed after you vote in the Poll below. Please also don't forget to sign the visitors book so I know you dropped by, and if you did enjoy this page, a Thumbs Up or a share to Twitter/Facebook is always appreciated.

Do You Know Anyone Famous From Bournemouth?
If you haven't even heard of Bournemouth, it's a seaside town on the South Coast of England, and where I grew up.
I created another page about my home town of Bournemouth which won both Lens Of The Day as well as Purple Star awards on Squidoo (a now defunct site where this content was originally featured).
If you haven't seen this page yet, please drop by, and I will put the kettle on for you while you learn more about this great holiday destination in the UK.
Do you know anyone famous from Bournemouth?
Famous People From Bournemouth (A - M)
Collin Allen
Collin Allen is a songwriter and drummer who was born in Bournemouth in 1938.

As a songwriter, Collin's works have been recorded by artists that include Paul McCartney's Wings and Fleetwood Mac.

Tony Blackburn
Former Radio Caroline and Radio One DJ
Tony Blackburn is best known for being one of the original Radio Caroline DJ's in the 1960s, and his breakfast show was the first show to be broadcast on BBC Radio One when it was launched on 30th September 1967.
Tony was born in 1943 in Guildford in Surrey, but the family moved to Bournemouth 3 years later, living in the next road to where I grew up in Lilliput.
He originally wanted to be a singer, but despite releasing 14 singles in the early 1960s, his singing career didn't take off, and he found work as a DJ on the offshore radio stations Radio Caroline and Radio London, which were based on board ships that were anchored just outside the UK territorial limit.
In 1967 Tony joined the BBC and his breakfast show was a bit hit, mainly due to his fun and friendly style and terrible corny jokes. He went on to take over hosting of the Sunday morning show for children Junior Choice and in more recent years he has presented shows on Radio London and Capital Radio, as well as co-hosting Seaside Special on BBC Television.
In 2002 Tony Blackburn became the first winner of the reality show "I'm A Celebrity get Me Out Of Here" and in 2010 he took over as host of the long running radio show "Pick Of The Pops".
Tony published his autobiography in 2007 entitled Poptastic!: My Life in Radio
Sir Anthony Blunt
Born in Bournemouth in 1907, Anthony Blunt is best known for being a Soviet spy.
The son of a vicar and a civil servant, Anthony had loose connections with the Royal Family (he was a third cousin to the late Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon).
When his father was sent to Paris with the British Embassy Chapel for several years, Anthony learned to speak French fluently, and also developed a love of art.
He went to Trinity College in Cambridge on a mathematics scholarship, completed his degree, then went on to teach French and study French art histroy as a post-graduate.
It was during this time that he joined a discussion group of 12 undergraduates, most of whom were homosexuals and Marxist. Several others in this group were also later accused of being spies.
It is unclear as to how Anthony Blunt was recruited by the Soviets, but in 1933 as a Cambridge don he made a trip to the Soviet Union, and during the following years in Cambridge he is likely to have been the recruiter of other spies, including Kim Philby and DOnald Maclean.
Joining the British Army in 1939 at the outbreak of WWII, Blunt was evacuated from Dunkirk and later recruited by MI5.
By the late 1940s it was suspected that Blunt was passing information to the Soviets, but it was after Burgess and Maclean defected to Moscow in 1951 that he really came under suspicion. It was 1963 however before he was exposed by one of his recruits, and he confessed to being a spy on 23rd April 1964.
Anthony Blunt had been knighted in 1956, but was stripped of his honours in 1979 after a book, Climate Of Treason by Andrew Boyle made clear referrences to him.
His life ended in 1983 when he suffered a heart attack at his home in London, at the age of 75.
Max Bygraves
Born in 1922 Max Bygraves was a singer and entertainer who was popular throughout the UK for many years.
Those of us who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s will remember those classic songs of his that were always on the radio, including "Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellenbogen By The Sea" and "You're A Pink Toothbrush", both regular features on Junior Choice.
From 1983 to 1985 Max presented the popular television game show Family Fortunes.
He lived in Alum Chine in Bournemouth for many years, retiring to Australia in 2008. Sadly Max passed away in Australia on 1st September 2012, he had Alzheimer's Disease.
Asia Booth Clarke
Asia Booth Clarke was the sister of Edwin Booth and John Wilkes Booth, and was born in Maryland in 1835.
She married John Sleeper Clarke and had 8 children, 2 of whom became actors.
Following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the family moved to England, and Asia died in Bournemouth in 1888.
She is best known for John Wilkes Booth: A Sister's Memoir which provided a rare insight into her brother's life. Although she wrote the book in 1874, she kept it hidden, and it was finally published in 1938.
Tony Brock
Tony Brock was born in Poole in 1954 and became the drummer for Spontaneous Combustion in the early 1970s.
Spontaneous Combustion lived up to their name, and split up in 1973, after releasing two albums, which were produced by Greg Lake (of Emerson Lake and Palmer), who is also from Poole.
Tony has also played with well known musicians including Rod Stewart, Roy Orbison, Jimmy Barnes and Elton John.
He was introduced to Rod Stewart when his (then) current band, Strider, opened for The Faces. Although Tony went on to join "The Babys", he was re-introduced to Rod Stewart in 1982 and became a part of the Rod Stewart Group.

She began writing herself at the age of 77, publishing pesudo-historical and Arthurian books, and continued writing until her death in 1996.
Her books can still be found on Amazon, and her novel The King's Damosel was used as the basis for the Warner Brothers movie Quest For Camelot.
Leilani Dowding
Leilani Dowding was born in Bournemouth in 1980, and has been a Page Three girl (The Sun Newspaper), a Glamour Model, Television Celebrity and a contestant in the Miss Universe Pageant.
Her mother is from the Philippines, her father from the UK, and she was christened Leilani which means "heavenly flower" after her mother's cousin.
Together with her sister Melanie, Leilani went to St. Peter's School in Bournemouth, and she then went on to study economics at the4 University of London, and had every intention of working in the stock market in London.
That was until she entered the Miss Great Britain pageant in 1998 at the age of 18 and won. Leilani then decided to make a career out of modelling.
Later in 1998 she represented Great Britain in the Miss Universe contest, and was the first woman of Asian descent to represent the nation.
Leilani dropped out of university, and turned to topless modelling in the popular UK tabloid The Sun.
In 2003 Leilani was voted one of the 100 Sexiset Women In The World by FHM magazine, being listed at #89.
She is currently working as a promotional model in the motorsports industry, and has travelled to various overseas destinations to help boost moral among British troops abroad.

Robert Fripp was born in Wimborne Minster, a few miles northwest of Bournemouth in 1946.
He began his career playing with hotel dance bands while he was studying economics, and moved to London in 1967 having joined with brothers Michael and Peter Giles.
Together they formed Giles Giles And Fripp (see more under Michael And Peter Giles on this page), and went on to be a founder member of King Crimson.
Even though 1972-1975 was probably the best period for King Crimson musically, with John Wetton on bass and vocals, and Bill Bruford on drums, Robert Fripp decided to call it a day and disolved the band, at a point where their fame might have surpassed the days of Court Of The Crimson King.
He then returned to his educational studies, and disappeared from the public eye, until Peter Gabriel persuaded him to play on his first solo album after leaving Genesis.
Robert went on to play sessions with David Bowie and Blondie, and produced records for Daryl Hall.
In 1986 Robert married Toyah Willcox.
A more detailed guide to the music career of Robert Fripp can be found on NNDB.
Michael And Peter Giles
Born in the Bournemouth area, brothers Michael Giles and Peter Giles formed Giles Giles And Fripp in 1967, with Michael Giles on drums and vocals, Peter Giles on bass guitar and vocals, and Robert Fripp on guitar.
The band only released an album, The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles Giles And Fripp, which did not sell well.
In 1968 Peter Giles left the band, while Michael Giles and Robert Fripp formed King Crimson, who had a number of hit albums, the best known being In The Court Of The Crimson King.
Peter joined up with King Crimson for their second album, In The Wake Of Poseidon.
Michael left King Crimson in 1969, and became a session musician, playing for artists such as Leo Sayer and Steve Winwood. He formed a King Crimson tribute band in 2002, 21st Century Schizoid Band. In 2008 he formed the Michael Giles MAD Band.
Peter Giles reunited with other former members of King Crimson in the 21st Century Schizoid Band, and has recently been working on an album of original music with his wife Yasmine.
Lawrence Grant
Lawrence Grant was a well known supporting actor who appeared in a number of classic movies between 1924 and 1941, including The Mask Of FuManchu, Bulldog Drummond and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
He was born in Bournemouth in 1870 and christened Percy Reginald Lawrence-Grant.
Growing up he was a huge fan of the Native American Indians, and this influenced his move to the USA in 1908, which was with a theatre company.
Some years later he was privileged enough to spend a few months living with several tribes in Wyoming and Montana, and shot a series of documentary footage of his experiences.
Lawrence was soon recognised as a talented actor, and had 25 years of success in Hollywood movies.
In 1931 he was the host of the 3rd Academy Awards.
Lawrence Grant passed away in 1952, following a decline in his health as a result of acting at a theatre in Santa Barbara during a heat wave.
Charles Gray
Charles Gray was an actor who will be remembered for his roles in a number of classic movies, but he is best known for playing Blofeld in the James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever.
He was born in Bournemouth in 1928, being christened Donald Marshall Gray, and went to Bournemouth School, which he attended with Benny Hill, who was evacuated there during the war from nearby Southampton.
Donald was interested in acting from an early age, and it is said that his bedroom was covered with pictures of movie stars.
In the late 1950s after some minor acting roles on the stage in Bournemouth, he moved away and changed his name to Charles, as there was already an actor called Donald Gray.
In the 1960s Charles achieved some success in television shows such as Danger Man alongside Patrick MacGoohan and Maigret, but his big breakthrough came in 1967 when he played a lead role in The Night of the Generals, along with Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif.
His best known role came in 1971 with the character of Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever, however he did also play an Australian intelligence officer four years prior in You Only Live Twice, which makes him one of only a handful of actors to play both a good and bad guy in the James Bond movies.
Charles went on to have further successes, as the narrator in the film version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and as Sherlock Holmes evil brother Mycroft in The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes.
His other movies include The Devil Rides Out and Mosquito Squadron
Charles Gray died from cancer in May 2000 in London. You can see a full list of his movies on Wikipedia.
Tony Hancock
Tony Hancock is one of the best known British comedians and actors, whose shows like Hancock's Half Hour are now British comedy classics.
He was born in Birmingham in 1924, but three years later his family moved south to Bournemouth, where his father worked as an entertainer at the Railway Hotel in Holdenhurst Road which he also ran.
He went to Durlston Court Preparatory School, which was a boarding school, and then to Bradfield College in Reading, but left school at 15.
He joined the RAF in 1942, failed entry to ENSA, the organisation for entertaining the troops, and ended up working with the Ralph Reader Gang Show, as a comedian at the Windmill Theatre in London. This presented him with the opportunity to appear on radio, and Tony was soon to appearing on radio shows like Worker's Playtime, Variety Bandbox and Educating Archie, where he played the tutor to a ventriloquist's dummy.
The latter show made him nationally famous,and in 1954 he was given his own radio show, Hancock's Half Hour, which lasted for 7 years, and eventually transferred to television.
Tony's shows often involved other well known comedians from the period, including Sid James, Hattie Jacques, Bill Kerr and Kenneth Williams.
From 1956 to 1957 the Tony Hancock Show was a hit on BBC Television, and most people in the UK if not aware of anything else that he did are familiar with the episode where he had to give blood, entitled The Blood Donor.
A minor car accident in 1959 left him with concussion, after which Tony struggled to remember his lines, and subsequent shows were recorded instead of being shown live.
Tony Hancock suffered from depression caused by a mixture of egotism and self doubt, which led him to ostracise many of those who had helped him on the road to success, and his life headed on a path of self destruction.
The Punch And Judy Man followed, a sitcom about a failing seaside entertainer, which borrowed much from his growing up in Bournemouth, and he also became a script writer for Steptoe And Son, one of the UK's best loved comedies, which was cloned in the USA as Sandford And Son.
He committed suicide in 1968, in Sydney. Australia.

Gordon Haskell
Gordon Haskell was born in 1946 in the village of Verwood, just north of Bournemouth.
As a bass guitarist and vocalist, he is yet another of the members of King Crimson to come from the Bournemouth area.
Preferring the musical style of Nat King Cole and Ray Charles to the psychedelic style that was evolving from the band, Gordon left and played for a while with artists such as Cliff Richard and Tim Hardin in the early 19760's, as well as with the cult folk rock band Stackridge .
The 1980 brought depression and debt, and Gordon ended up for a while playing in bars in Denmark, but his fortune turned around in 2001 when his jazz ballard How Wonderful You Are which was given to BBC Radio 2 DJ Johnnie Walker the day before 9/11. This song became the most requested song on Radio 2, even before it was released as a single.
An album Harry's Bar was released in 2002 and made it to #2 in the UK Album charts, and a DVD was made about his life and The Road To Harry's Bar in 2005.
Gordon has more recently been working on his autobiography.

Benny Hill
One of the UK's best known commedians and known worldwide, Benny Hill also has a connection with Bournemouth.
Although Benny Hill was born in Shirley in Southampton in 1924, during the Second World War he was evacuated to Bournemouth School in Bournemouth, to avoid the bombing, since Southampton is a major port and industrial centre and was bombed heavily during the blitz.
After leaving school Benny had jobs as a milkman (later to help greatly in his career), he worked at Woolworths, and also trained as a mechanic, but in the late 1940s, inspired by the success of the Old Time Music Hall, he decided that he wanted to get into comedy.
He changed his name to Benny (he was christened Alfred Hawthorne Hill), and began performing in working men's clubs.
His first professional theatre job was playing a straight man to Reg Varney (of "On The Buses" fame), beating Peter Sellers to get the role, Peter Sellers still then being unknown.
As well as the famous Benny Hill Show, Benny played parts in a number of classic comedy movies, including Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Italian Job.
His greatest musical achievement was of course the now classic Ernie The Fastest Milkman In The West, not forgetting of course his appearance in the Genesis music video for Anything She Does.
Benny passed away in 1992 and is buried in Southampton.
We have visited Benny's grave, which is in Hollybrook Cemetery in Southampton. I saw him once in Oxford Street in London when I was working there, but sadly never got a chance to meet him.

The Inciders are a hardcore punk/metal band that formed in 2003 in Bournemouth.
The band never gained national fame, but have played regularly at gigs on the South Coast of England, and even as far north as Wolverhampton in The Midlands.
They can be uniquely identifed by their mascot "Ciderman", which reflects their party and heavy drinking style shows, cider being a popular drink these days in the UK for getting drunk on.
The band split in 2006, but were reformed in 2010. Their latest updates can be found on Wikipedia.
Alex James

He was born as Stephen Alexander James in the Boscombe suburb of Bournemouth in 1968 and attended Bournemouth Grammar School, before going to Goldsmiths College in London, which is where he met Graham Coxon, who was a fellow founding member of Blur.
Alex has led a rather bizarre lifestyle, which ranges from the hedonistic, where he claims to have spent more than a million pounds on champagne and cocaine, to his presenting The A-Z of Classic FM Music on Classic FM Radio and writing a weekly food column for various British newspapers.
More recently Alex moved to Oxfordshire where he purchased a 200 acre cheese farm and now specialises in producing organic cheese, his three types so far being called Blue Monday, Farleigh Wallop and Little Wallop.
So here we have one of the more diverse people who came from Bournemouth. You can discover more about Alex James and his life on Wikipedia.
Lee Kerslake
Lee Kerslake was born in Bournemouth in 1947 and is best known as drummer for Uriah Heep and the Ozzy Osbourne band.
Lee first joined Uriah Heep in 1971, and played with the band until 1979, when he left but rejoined in 1982. He left the band in 2007 due to health problems.
During his hiatus from Uriah Heep, Lee played together with bass player Bob Daisley in Ozzy Osbourne's band. Both of them were not listed in the credits for the Diary Of A Madman album, and just after the recording sessions they were fired. A lawsuit was raised against the Osbournes, seeking royalties and credits, but their performances were later erased from the album. The lawsuit was later dismissed.
Lee Kerslake played on probably the best Uriah Heep albums, Demons & Wizards and The Magician's Birthday, both from 1972.
Annunzio Paulo Mantovani
World Famous Musican and Orchestra leader
There are not many people who lived through the middle years of the 20th century who will not have heard some of the best loved songs from The Mantovani Orchestra, which was founded and led by Annunzio Paulo Mantovani.
Mantovani was born in Venice, Italy in 1905, and in 1909 his family moved to London, where he was found to be a gifted musician, and by the 1930s his orchestrated music was being used by the BBC and Pathe News.
He moved to Bournemouth with his wife and family to get away from the hustle and bustle of London, and his house was aptly named "Greensleeves" for one of his greatest hits. He lived there until his death in March 1980.
Mantovani was the first artist to sell over 1 million stereophonic LP's, and sold no less than 35 millon recordings during his lifetime. He will best be remembered for classics such as Charmaine, Greensleeves, Moulin Rouge, Exodus and Moon River, which are just a few of his recordings. You can find out more about Mantovani on the The Mantovani Orchestra web site.

Zoot Money
Well it's not everyone that is born into a money family, but in 1942 George Bruno Money did just that, and yes the family name is actually "money".
George always had a love of music, playing the french horn and singing in the choir at school, and in 1961 having been heavily influenced by listening to Jerry Lee Lewis and Ray Charles, he formed the Big Roll Band, which during the next two years became a line up of Andy Summers (guitar), Nick Newall (saxophone), Colin Allen (drums), and Zoot playing piano and Hammond organ.
Before long the Big Roll Band was playing the famous Flamingo Club in Wardour Street in London's Soho, alongside other well known acts including Georgie Fame And The Blue Flames and The Animals.
In the late 1960s the band morphed into Dantalian's Chariot, and played at gigs with other top psychedelic acts of the day, including the original Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett, Soft Machine, and The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown.
Zoot went on to play in the USA for a while, but returned to the UK where in the early 1980s he turned to acting, playing the music director in the BBC television show "Tutti Frutti", which helped launch the careers of Emma Thompson and Robbie Coltrane.
Back to today, where Zoot has returned to his Jazz/Blues roots with the formation of the British Blues Quintet, which sees Zoot playing alongside other British Blues/Jazz legends Maggie Bell, Miller Anderson, Colin Hodgkinson and drummer Collin Allen.
In the 1960s my Dad worked repairing Hammond Organs, and I wonder if he ever had to work on Zoot's? Alas that is something I will never know.

He was sent away to preparatory school, where he developed a love of music. From there he went on to be educated at Eton, and was the youngest person to have sat the Oxford Bachelor Of Music exam.
Hubert went to work as an underwriter with Lloyds Of London, but continued to study music, and in 1883 he was appointed professor of composition and musical history at the Royal College Of Music, where his pupils included Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst.

Being inspired by the American singer Jesse Fuller, he travelled around Europe, earning a living from playing on street corners (busking).
Initially just playing a guitar, Don found that he would gain a larger audience if he played as a one man band, and so he turned to playing the guitar, kazoo, harmonica, bass drum and cymbal at the same time.
He gained popularity in 1964 by playing in London, something which people hadn't seen since the Second World War, and was often arrested since playing on street corners was illegal.
After appearing on the Eamonn Andrews Show on television, he was offered a recording contract, which led to his recording Rosie, which shot up in the charts.
Don played with a number of well known musicians, including Gene Pitney, Status Quo, and Gordon Giltrap.
The 1970s saw Don move to Sweden, then busk around Canada, where he performed at the Montreal Olympic Games, before returning to the UK and settling in Sussex in 1990.

Tolkien came to Bournemouth on holiday for 30 years, always staying in the same room at the Hotel Miramar and renting another room which he used to write in.
He finally moved to Bournemouth in the 1960s when the attention if his fast growing fans became too much for him. He lived with his wife Edith in a house off Branksome Chine until his death in 1973.

The acclaimed children's writer Patricia Rubinstein, who published under the name Antonia Forest, lived in Bournemouth for most of her life, having been born in Hampstead, the daughter of the eminent solicitor and playwright Harold Rubinstein. I own her autograph book of 1924, which is for sale.
Bournemouth was were my wife and I went on honeymoon - many years ago. Didn't know so many famous people can from there.
This is quite the list. Who knew?
Wow, that's quite a list! It's always interesting to look at someone's roots and see where they came from.
I've often been to Bournemouth on holiday. Never realised how many famous people are connected to Bournemouth. Interesting lens!
Great compilation. Love Benny Hill!
I love Benny Hill! And of course Tolkein. Famous people from my state of Indiana include Michael Jackson, Charles Manson, and Jim Jones. Just goes to show you that living amongst corn fields may not be the ideal environment....
I'm not from Bournemouth and not famous (yet) but I used to work in a cafe on the front called the Beef A Burger Bar.
I had no idea Tolkien had such close connection to Bournemouth
What a suprise Ernst Stavro Blofeld was also from my old home town,
There is a lot of effort gone into researching this super list.
Thanks for the listings.
A startlingly impressive list, would that I could say the same of the town I grew up in!
Wow! An impressive list. Thank you for the info!
Blimey, I'm shocked at J.R.R. Tolkein being on there!
Blimey, I'm shocked at J.R.R. Tolkein being on there!
My goodness, that place must be famous for having so many famous people! I recognized several names of those I've enjoyed their work. Someday, maybe your name will be added to the list. :-)
Wow, all these famous and semi-famous people from that one place! Is it something in the water? BTW I love Benny Hill and, of course, JRR Tolkein.
Very entertaining lens. I have spent far longer than I intended here! But I will come back.
It's good to see the different people with talents from Bournemouth. You couldn't imagine there's so many. Interesting reading.
A good list, but I don't think you should count people who holidayed in Bournemouth like Tolkien, that's cheating.
Great lense. I live in Bournemouth. I joined squidoo because I found your article on Google. So it's thanks to you Tony that I have a new interest.
Poddy besides you Charles Gray and Benny Hill.
Really enjoyed this Lens. There is a lot here and I will probably come back to see the parts I have missed. Thank you.
Awesome lens, nicely done!
What an impressive list. Must be something in the water. Featured on Blessed by Skiesgreen 2012-2. Hugs
No way! Tolkein is from Bournemouth??? WOW! I love it even more now!!
Love your work - Thanks!
Alex James - bass player with Blur was born is Boscombe and attended Bournemouth School. I think he deserves an entry
Very interesting. I've heard of a few of these famous people, mostly the boss lady from Criminal Minds.
I didn't previously know everybody on your list, but was happy to meet them all.
These are great list of famous people in Bournemouth.. I enjoyed reading your lense.
Must be something in the air or the educational system to produce such a wealth of interesting and artistic people in that one area. I found the sister of John Wilkes Booth an interesting Bournemouth resident. I'll have to look for her book. Some of those vintage books, that are out-of-print, are now becoming available on Kindle and e-readers.
great lens, did a search on squidoo for the keyword bournemouth and came up with your interesting lens. Good read, thanks for the content.
It is little wonder that so very many creative and famous people come from Bournemouth. Your opening pictures shows exactly how beautiful and magical the area is. Wow.
Nicely done, Tony! Looks like quite a few famous people have a connection to Bournemouth.
I had to read it to believe it.
Man you do a very good research on this place. Enjoy reading them. Thanks
This is a fantastic piece of research. What an interesting bunch. Vera Chapman in particular sounds like a wonderful character, and Karen Hardy is lovely as well as being an incredible dancer.
Wow, you've put in a lot of work into this one. I recently read your other lens on Bournemouth, so it was easy to relate to this lens of famous people originating from the place. I actually recognized a few on the list. One that is more recent is Jayne Atkinson 'cos I've watched several episodes of Criminal Minds. Well done, Tony...blessings! :)
Bournemouth, England is definitely a hotbed for famous people...I remember watching the the Benny Hill Show ( great comedy skits) but my favorite person from Bournemouth would have to be Leilani Dowding for gorgeous physical attributes.
Great lens highlighting some very interesting and famous people from Bournemouth.
What an amazing lens. I had no idea I would know of so many of the people listed here. Don Partridge was a particular favourite. "Rosie" was my kind of music.
Wow ... I'm amazed at how many names I recognized. Including Charles Gray, who is one of my favorite actors. I loved him as Mycroft, and of course as both bad and good guys in the James Bond films. You've done a fabulous job here, Tony!
So many actors and rock musicians! There must be something in the water! Very enjoyable lens. There are not many famous people from my town. Richard Basehart, the actor was from here, and we sometimes claim astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn, who was born in the village of New Concord, a few miles from Zanesville, where I live.
Gees - how did Bournemouth produce/attract so many celebrities? Just the list of their names would make a lens - and adding all the descriptions and other info definitely calls for a blessing of this work of love.
Bournemouth appears to be a gold mine for famous people!
Very interesting and surprising list of people from Bournemouth. Great topic.
I'm quite familiar with the work of some of these folks - just never realized they shared a hometown with you. Interesting lens.
I loved reading your lens on Famous People From Bournemouth!
Wow, you sure have a lot of famous folks from Bournemouth. That's more than my hometown's population. lol
wow fab lens love it
Great, you did it! Doesn't Amanda Holden look like Sandra Bullock only with lighter hair? Nice to see such an interesting bunch of famous people. Thank you for sharing. Stay well, Rose
If you had a poll I'd vote for Benny Hill!
Well, this will be quite an entertaining collection. Great work!

Dixie Gael Velner, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, passed away on November 7, 2017. She was born on October 14, 1942 in Los Angeles, California to her parents, Gael and Maxine Rogers. She was 75 years of age.
Dixie attended Dorsey High School. Dixie was 13 years old when she met a wonderful young man named James "Jim" Velner. During the next couple of years, their courtship was wonderful and they realized that it really was love at first sight and on July 11, 1959 in Los Angeles, California, they were united in holy matrimony.
Dixie's love of helping others turned into a lifelong career for her as she worked at Little Company of Mary, Palmdale Hospital, Antelope Valley Hospital, and finally Lake Havasu Regional Medical Center.
Dixie was an avid reader, loved playing cards, and spending time with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family, and friends. She loved having her friends over to hang out and relax poolside. In her younger years she really enjoyed square dancing with Jim.
Her family will always remember her famous saying,"First comes laughter, then comes tears."
She was preceded in death by her parents, Gael and Maxine Rogers and Esther Rogers, and sister, Carol Rodriguez.
Dixie is survived by her beloved husband of 58 years, James "Jim" Velner, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona; daughters, Lori (Michael) Gibson, of Rosamond, California and Cindy Galambas, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona; sister, Ginger Jeffers, of Pine, Arizona; four grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home. Thoughts and condolences can be sent to the family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com. To send the family a free card, go to www.sendoutcards.com/lietzfraze.

CCC Says: ""Twilight is upon me, and soon night must fall. That is the way of things. The way of the Force." – Yoda
In the world of MMOs, it's hard to image a time when World of Warcraft will not rule as king. However, there have been many to come along over the years to challenge the juggernaut. Some unknowns have risen from obscurity over the years to carve out a respectable piece of the pie (like Guild Wars 2 and EVE Online), while others were developed from franchises with a pre-established fan base (giving them a sizable starting-gate advantage). Lord of the Rings and DC Universe Online obviously come to mind, but Star Wars could be considered one of the most high profile, marquee licenses in the world of MMO. With the Galaxies servers closing down a few years back, The Old Republic has now become the must-see destination for anyone wanting to level up in a galaxy far, far away."

Background Papers
National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) Strategic Plan
Dental Informatics: An Emerging Biomedical Informatics Discipline
Biomedical informatics is a maturing discipline. During the last 40 years, it has developed into a research discipline of significant scale and scope. One of its subdisciplines, dental informatics, is beginning to emerge as its own entity. While there is a growing cadre of trained dental informaticians, dental faculty and administrators in general are not very familiar with dental informatics as an area of scientific inquiry. Many confuse informatics with information technology (IT), are unaware of its scientific methods and principles, and cannot relate dental informatics to biomedical informatics as a whole. This paper delineates informatics from information technology, and explains the types of scientific questions that dental and other informaticians typically engage in. Scientific investigation in informatics centers primarily on model formulation, system development, system implementation and the study of effects. Informatics draws its scientific methods mainly from information science, computer science, cognitive science and telecommunications. Dental informatics shares many types of research questions and methods with its parent discipline, biomedical informatics. However, there are indications that certain research questions in dental informatics require novel solutions that have not yet been developed in other informatics fields.

This report describes current and future research issues in dental and craniofacial research.

A hybrid seed or F1 or F1 hybrid is a first generation seed, which is produced by controlled cross pollination between different varieties of the same plant. The process of crossing seeds enables the production of desirable traits that are not possible through inbreeding between two plants.

These seeds can adapt better to environmental stress, show greater resistance to diseases and pests, are more vigorous, and provide higher yields.
