Oh to live life like Ronald Wright


Spiritualist writer, gay magazine illustrator, celebrity portrait artist, artist's model and psychic medium, Ronald Wright's life has been filled with strange encounters and extraordinary experiences. Seduced by the sparkle of cinema's entertainers the young Ronald Wright was drawn to London's West End in the early 1950s. With youthful determination Wright found ways to meet the stars he idolized, and more importantly stumbled upon the secret World of London's homosexual scene. First gaining a reputation drawing the likeness of 'Theatreland' stars such as Marlene Dietrich, Mae West and Vivien Leigh, Wright eventually turned his graphic skills to the burgeoning 'Physique' and 'Men's Interest' magazine industry. Wright's artwork featured in many of the internationally renowned publications including Fizeek, Adonis, Sir Gay, Male Classics, Modern Man and Body Beautiful. Imprisoned for being gay in 1959, he was released a year later and began a successful career as artist model, most notable posing as 'the body' of Rudolf Nureyev for a Madam Tussaud's waxwork.

Priapically blessed, Wright himself became entertainer, model and muse, performing at private parties and clubs throughout the 1960s. The 1970s and 8Os saw Wright's interest in the spiritual world taking centre stage. After a visitation from 'The Spirit of Light' during a seance in Belgrave Square, he became a man with a mission to channel, write and distribute the message of Hafed Prince of Persia, leader of the legendary 'Three Magi' of biblical fame. He also became a well known healer.

These are Ronald Wright's memoirs, illustrated with more than 30 pages of original photographs and artwork, telling the story a very unconventional life, which may shock many even in today's more enlightened times.
