Hello Alice,

I'm looking forward to seeing your final article. I know its difficult to get new information about RD.

Here's something that may make you smile:
Ricky Spontane did a song called the "Delgado Song" which according to his website is about Roger. The address is:

Thanks Christina have already heard it, it does go on somewhat, but you are right it is quite funny.

Trying to find new info about Roger is like trying to get blood out of a stone nobody seems to know anything that I don't already know. (It would be nice to be able to have a chat with Kismet his widow but don't suppose I'll ever get the opportunity she would be able to answer all my questions I'm sure but don't even know if she is still alive because I can't get any info on her either). It's all very frustrating and driving me round the twist arrgh arrgh arrgh. I'm alright really honest Will my article ever get finished??

hi 'Alice'

Rod here from the DrWho boards

just wondering how its going in your search?
are you in the states? or UK based?

maybe you have already tried these BUT...

if you try an actors agency 'ring em up and ask' IF they can help you..which im sure you realise is doubtful, it might be an idea to let on you are just doing research into a book, and need to find out what happened to kismet, as you have several questions for her, OR her family.

its quite possible thinking about it that she will have went back to her own country! so that could be a real pain finding out anything!

i will TRY and ask if i can?? BARYY LETTS?? if he is at the PANOPTICON in november if he knows anything about kismet..

the other advice i have heard one should use when in search of actors.. is to try the LAST movie company they did work for.. as they usually have a forwarding address for fan mail.... kinda doubt that would work.. but its worth a shot??

and MAYBE try the bbc with a return address

anyway...let me know if any of thats any use

cheers R

Hi Rod

I am from the UK.

Thanks for your suggestions, they are much appreciated, but I haven't got a clue how to contact any of these people. All I know about Kismet is that she married William Marlowe, who appeared in The Mind of Evil and she did a voice over for one of the spiders from Planet of The Spiders. I do know she was still alive in 1987 since she approved a Tribute Magazine that was written about Roger at that time, but after that I don't have any info its like she just vanished into thin air. Maybe I shall just have give it up as a bad job, that won't get my article on Roger finished but if the info isn't available then there's nothing more I can do. Oh well nevermind.

Thanks again for your help

Kind Regards

Alice
