When Simon Cadell announced to the world that he may have only days
to live, it signalled the end of a twenty-year stage career that
had just seen its finest hour-winning an Olivier Award for `Travels
With My Aunt'. The British public had fallen in love with the
charms of Cadell as Jeffrey Fairbrother, part of the hugely
successful sitcom `Hi-de-hi!', constantly dodging the amorous
advances of Ruth Madoc's Gladys Pugh. But behind the lop-sided
smile lay a man full of nerves and insecurity about the looks that
ultimately defined his television career. As the hapless civil
servant Mr Dundridge, in `Blott on the Landscape' he displayed
perfect incompetence played to perfection, brought to triumph by
his naked escape from the clutches of Lady Maud as played by
Geraldine James. Equally adept at Shakespeare and Chekhov as he was
with Whitehall-style farces, Cadell's was a highly respected stage
career achieved via a relentless workload. His many appearances as
Noel Coward earned him a reputation as the definitive Coward
interpreter, something he had first turned his hand to at the
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. With access to family photographs
and documentation, and sourced by numerous interviews, `Simon
Cadell: The Authorised Biography' tells for the first time the
story of a fourth generation actor who oozed charm and had a zest
for a life that was cut tragically short at the peak of his powers.
