Probably best known as "Dame Edna Everage" - who called Charlton Heston "Chuck", and ordered celebrities around as though they were only there to do her bidding - John Barry "Barry" Humphries died just the other day, on the 22nd April 2023, aged 89 years.
Known world-wide for his characters, he remained our "home grown boy", even though he was a Tony Award winner, honorary vice-president of the American Guild of Variety Artists trade union, and lived abroad for a number of years.
Farewell, and thanks for all the laughs!
