He reminded me of Cary Grant. Except for Le Mesurier. Le Mesurier moved to the attic room, an arrangement kept secret from friends and the public.
Their rows became ever more furious. It was the beginning of the end.
Soon afterwards Robin left home for a new life as a musician in LA. His mother visited and wrote and the pair spoke often over the phone. In October the same year, Robin received a phone call to say his mother had died — alone — from a massive heart attack. She was only It was like history repeating itself.
