Cy Grant




Cy Grant has died at the grand age of 90.

I had a real crush on him as a teenager. So handsome, relaxed & with a winning smile singing Tonight’s Topical Δ Calypso.

Of the same generation as ER Braithwaite he served in the RAF during the war. He trained as a barrister but, whether because of the kind of prejudice he met or simple love of it, went in to theatre & entertainment. If he was an angry man he never showed it in those days.
