  Anthony Newley

  Anthony Newley was singer, a songwriter, actor, film director, screenwriter, but what made him stand apart from other renaissance men was that he was brilliant at all of them, well almost all of them. He started his career as an actor in the 1940s and played the artful dodger in David Lean’s film version of [...]
