Peter Paul Wyngarde (born Cyril Goldbert,[1] 23 August 1927[disputed – discuss] – 15 January 2018)[2] was a British actor. He was best known for portraying the character Jason King, a bestselling novelist turned sleuth, in two television series: Department S (1969–70) and Jason King (1971–1972). His flamboyant dress sense and stylish performances led to success, and he was considered a style icon in Britain and elsewhere in the early 1970s.

Background and early life

Wyngarde's birth name was Cyril Goldbert.[1][3] His full name may have been Cyril Louis Goldbert.[4][5]

According to his own account, he was born on 23 August 1933 to a French mother and a British father at an aunt's home in Marseille, France.[6][7][8]

Wyngarde changed his name and claimed to be younger than he was. He also cited a false family background by changing his father's name and profession and both his parents' nationalities and their ethnic origins, and he also fabricated a false education and work history of his early years in the UK. He maintained these versions of his biography until his death at 90 in 2018.[9] The Guardian newspaper said in March 2020 that "his life story is shrouded in mystery".[10]

Date and place of birth

His death certificate states that he was born on 23 August 1927.[11] Most reports of his death in January 2018 concur and say that he was 90 years old when he died.[4] A biography published in 2020 which claimed to draw on personal knowledge of the subject gave his date of birth as 28 (not 23) August 1928.[12] Most formal official sources cite 1927 as his year of birth, but other more informal sources have reported a range of birth years from 1924 to 1937.[Note 1] In a 1993 interview Wyngarde claimed to not know his own age.[25]

His death certificate records his birthplace as Singapore[11] and on immigration documents related to two trips to the United States in 1960 Wyngarde stated his place of birth was Singapore.[17] However, during a subsequent visit to Singapore in 1972 he denied having previously been there.[26] Throughout his life Wyngarde always cited Marseille as his place of birth, and this is repeated in the biography published in 2020.[12]

Family

Passenger records of Peter Wyngarde's journey to the UK in 1945[27] and a biography published in 2020[12] name his father as a British merchant seaman called Henry Goldbert (1897–1945).[28] Henry Goldbert was of Russian ethnicity[29] and born in present day Ukraine. He grew up in British Malaya, where he became a naturalised British citizen.[30][31][27] Wyngarde had claimed that Henry Goldbert was his stepfather,[32] and that his father was an Englishman named Henry Wyngarde[24][32] who had a prestigious career in the British Diplomatic Service in Hong Kong, Malaya, Singapore and India, before becoming an importer-exporter of antique watches living in Eaton Square, London.[33] No such person appears in any public records in the UK or anywhere in the world. Despite being named as Wyngarde's next of kin on the passenger manifest, Henry Goldbert appears to have died in the US in October 1945, a few weeks before his son arrived in the UK from Shanghai.[28]

Peter Wyngarde's mother was Margherita Goldbert, née Ahin (1908–1992), known as Madge.[34] In interviews he always said she was French.[35] She appears to have been born to a Eurasian family from Singapore.[36] She and Henry Goldbert divorced in 1937.

Wyngarde had two younger siblings: Henry Goldbert Jr, known as Joe (1930–2011) and Marion Goldbert Wells (1932–2012). They moved to England in 1946, shortly after Wyngarde did,[37] but the 2020 biography says that he chose to have very little further contact with them or their children. Henry Jr's sons were executors of Wyngarde's estate,[38] possibly against his wishes.[39][40]

After Peter Wyngarde's parents divorced, his mother is said to have married Charles Juvet[41][42] of the Shanghai-based Swiss horological family[43][44][45] through whom she gained Swiss citizenship.[46][45] His stepfather appears to have inspired Wyngarde's later claims that his father was a dealer of antique watches, and that he was a maternal nephew of the French actor-director Louis Jouvet.[47] His mother Madge does not appear to have been Louis Jouvet's sister or sister-in-law[48] and moreover the French Louis Jouvet appears to be unrelated to the Swiss Juvet family.[41][42]

In 1947 Madge married John MacAulay, known as Ian, in Shanghai, at which time her legal name was recorded as her first married name Marcheritta [sic] Goldbert.[46][45] She lived in Johor, Malaysia until her husband retired and they moved to his home town of Stornoway, Scotland. After his mother's marriage to Ian MacAulay, Wyngarde would sometimes use his stepfather's surname.[39]

Early life

Interviewed in 1973, Wyngarde said: "As a child it was difficult to differentiate sometimes between fact and fantasy".[4] He often spoke about his traumatic early life. Wyngarde told an interviewer that after his parents' divorce his father took him to China "only months before war with [sic] China broke out" in the summer of 1937.[25] He spoke about living in Shanghai when the Japanese Army took over the Shanghai International Settlement on 8 December 1941.[49] Correspondence held in the UK's National Archives[50] shows that in 1942 Henry Goldbert's three children including 15-year-old Cyril were living in Shanghai and that efforts were being made by the UK's Ministry of War Transport, the Prisoners of War Department and various boarding schools to facilitate the children's repatriation to the UK, but that Cyril could not be accommodated because of his age.

In April 1943, he was interned in the Lunghua civilian internment camp.[51] In one interview in the 1970s, Wyngarde says that he was interned as an unaccompanied five-year-old due to an administrative error,[52] but this appears to be age fabrication since records show that he was interned from age 15 to just before his 18th birthday. He began acting during his internment when he played all the characters in a version of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde.[53]

Following the Surrender of Japan, the internment camps were liberated in August 1945. Cyril Goldbert left Shanghai that autumn and travelled to the UK on the Cunard-White Star Line ship Arawa. Passenger records show that he travelled alone, aged 18, and arrived in Southampton on 14 December 1945.[27] He later claimed that the ship had arrived in Liverpool not Southampton, and that he was personally greeted by King George VI.[54][55]

The British author J. G. Ballard was also interned at the Lunghua camp and he travelled to the UK with Wyngarde and other former internees. In 1995, he wrote:

Peter Wyngarde was in the camp, under his real name of Cyril Goldbert. We came to England on the Arrawa, and I bumped into him once or twice in the 1950s. The last time, when he had begun to be successful, he cut me dead in St James's Park. In interviews he claims that his father was a French [sic] diplomat and is vague about his age, sometimes claiming to be younger than me. In fact, he is at least four years older than me [Ballard was born in 1930], and played adult roles in the camp Shakespeare productions.[56]

Wyngarde always denied knowing Ballard or said he could not remember, but in an undated letter published by his biographer in 2020 he confirms that he knew Ballard.[57]

His own accounts of his life after leaving Shanghai for England appear to have been embellished with a prestigious history of education, travel and work. In part, this helped account for the six-year gap created by his claim to have been a 12-year-old boy when he left Shanghai, not a man of 18 as the passenger manifest says. He claimed to have spent two years in a Swiss sanatorium recovering from his war experiences before attending public schools in England, France and/or Switzerland,[58] after which he claimed to have studied in the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford for three months, and to have worked in a London advertising agency for a while[32] before starting work as a professional actor. It seems unlikely that any of this is true because records show that Wyngarde arrived in the UK from Shanghai aged 18 in December 1945 and began his professional acting career in early 1946 just a few months later.

Career

Early acting career

Having changed his name from Cyril Goldbert to Peter Wyngarde on arrival in the UK in December 1945, within a few months he began his professional acting career. He first appeared at the Buxton Playhouse in 1946,[4] and the following year in a production of Noël Coward's Present Laughter at the Theatre Royal, Birmingham.[53] He appeared with Alec Guinness in Hamlet in London in 1951, and with Siobhán McKenna in Saint Joan in 1954.[4] His theatre appearances included playing opposite Vivien Leigh in 1958, and as Cyrano de Bergerac at the Bristol Old Vic in 1959, which he considered a highlight of his career.[4]

After making his film debut in a brief, uncredited role as a soldier in Dick Barton Strikes Back (1949), Wyngarde had more roles in feature films, television plays and television series guest appearances from the mid-1950s. One of these, a television adaptation of Julien Green's novel South (1959, originally Sud), in which Wyngarde featured in a lead role, is thought to be the earliest television play with an overtly homosexual theme.[59] He appeared as Long John Silver in an adaptation of The Adventures of Ben Gunn (1958),[4] and as Sir Roger Casement in an episode of Granada Television's On Trial series produced by Peter Wildeblood. He also featured in the title role of Rupert of Hentzau in 1964.[4]

Wyngarde's film work was not extensive, but gained attention.[14] He took the role of Pausanias opposite Richard Burton in the film Alexander the Great (1956), and had a major role (with above-the-title billing) in the film The Siege of Sidney Street (1960) with Donald Sinden. In Jack Clayton's The Innocents (1961), he had brief unspeaking scenes as the leering Peter Quint with Deborah Kerr and Pamela Franklin. He followed this appearance as the lead in the occult thriller Night of the Eagle (US title: Burn Witch Burn, 1962), his only film appearance in a lead role.[4]

In 1966, Wyngarde appeared in The Saint (S5, E8: "The Man who Liked Lions"), playing Tiberio, a Rome and lion obsessed assassin. In the finale Tiberio and Simon Templar (The Saint) fight a duel in Roman costume with Tiberio having a gruesome fate in the pit of his own lion.

By the late 1960s, Wyngarde was guest starring in television series of the time, many of which were shown internationally, including The Avengers, The Saint, The Baron, The Champions and I Spy. He also appeared in The Prisoner ("Checkmate", 1967) as the authority figure called Number Two. Wyngarde was also a guest star, playing himself as a Shakespearean actor in Lucy in London (1968), a prime-time TV special starring Lucille Ball.[60]

Wyngarde as Jason King

Wyngarde became a British household name through his starring role in the espionage series Department S (1969). His character, Jason King, a novelist turned sleuth, was reputedly based on the author Ian Fleming.[53] King led a hedonistic lifestyle; he often got the girl but as she is about to kiss him manages to avoid it, much to the annoyance of co-actor Joel Fabiani. After that series ended, his character, the suave womaniser Jason King, was spun off into a new action espionage series entitled Jason King (1971), which ran for one series of 26 fifty-minute episodes.

One obituary described Wyngarde as playing the role "in the manner of a cat walking on tiptoe, with an air of self-satisfaction", but that increasingly his acting became more mannered and he came to believe his own publicity. His director, Cyril Frankel, said: "It got to a point where he wouldn't accept direction."[4] Frankel also said: "He was a very fine actor, but unfortunately a difficult person."[61]

The series led Wyngarde to become an international celebrity, being mobbed by female fans in Australia.[25] Carl Gresham, his promotional manager at this time said later that "During the '70s we had a contract to officially open over 30 Woolworths newly refurbished stores throughout the UK. Other than my friends and clients, Morecambe & Wise, Peter was the most requested and highest paid celebrity making personal appearances."[62]

In the role, he "became a style icon, with his droopy moustache, hair that looked like a bearskin hat and a wardrobe of wide-lapelled, three-piece suits, cravats and open-necked shirts in colours so bright they might hurt sensitive eyes."[61] In 1970, he was described as "Britain's best-dressed male personality", and the following year it was reported that more babies were christened Jason that year than ever before.[4]

Later career

In 1974, Wyngarde played the lead role of the King of Siam in a stage revival of The King and I, initially with Sally Ann Howes as Anna, which ran for 260 performances at the Adelphi Theatre in London.[63]

In the late 1970s, he performed in the theatre in South Africa and Austria.[64] Also on stage he appeared in the thriller Underground with Raymond Burr and Marc Sinden (whose father Donald had worked with Wyngarde on The Siege of Sidney Street) at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Toronto and at the Prince of Wales Theatre, London in 1983.[65]

Wyngarde played the masked character Klytus in the film Flash Gordon (1980) and Sir Robert Knight in the film Tank Malling (1989) with Ray Winstone. On TV he appeared in The Two Ronnies 1984 Christmas Special as Sir Guy.[66] Other TV appearances include Doctor Who (in the four-episode-story Planet of Fire, 1984), Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense (1984), Bulman (1985), The Lenny Henry Show (1994) and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (1994).

After leaving a 1995 stage production of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari due to a throat infection while still in previews,[67] Wyngarde mostly stopped acting except for occasional voice work. He continued to appear in public at Memorabilia and other events celebrating his performances.[68][69] In 2003 he appeared as a guest of Simon Dee in the Channel 4 one-off revival of his chat show Dee Time.

Screenwriter Mark Millar says that when casting his 2004 film Layer Cake, the director Matthew Vaughn wanted Wyngarde for a role, but was told that he had died.[70] Seven years later, Vaughn requested him again for a role in X-Men: First Class but was again wrongly advised that Wyngarde had died.[70]

In 2007, Wyngarde participated in recording extras for a box-set of The Prisoner, including a mock interview segment titled "The Pink Prisoner".[71]

In January 2014, he narrated an episode of the BBC Four Timeshift documentary strand How to Be Sherlock Holmes: The Many Faces of a Master Detective.[72] In It was Alright in the 1960s, a 2015 documentary series for Channel 4, Wyngarde expressed his unease at having had to don blackface to play a Turk in The Saint, but said he had done it only in the hope that a theatre director might pick him to play Othello.[73]

Recordings

In 1970, Wyngarde recorded an album released by RCA Victor entitled simply Peter Wyngarde, featuring a single, "La Ronde De L'Amour"/"The Way I Cry Over You".[74] The album is a collection of spoken-word musical arrangements produced by Vic Smith and Hubert Thomas Valverde. Wyngarde claimed that: "It sold out in next to no time... but RCA point-blankly refused to press any more. I was fuming, as I'd been given a three-album contract with the company, who promised to release one LP every 12 months. The excuse was that production was being moved... They told me that everything would have to go on the back burner, but I just believe that they got cold feet".[75] A promo single of the track "Rape" (re-titled "Peter Wyngarde Commits Rape") was also issued in 1970[76] with the B-side "The Way I Cry Over You" and the serial number PW1.

In 1998, the album was reissued on CD by RPM Records, re-titled When Sex Leers Its Inquisitive Head.[77] The album is now usually treated as a curiosity because of its unusual spoken-word style and the controversial subject matter of some of the tracks.[78][79][80]

Personal life

Peter Wyngarde is said to have married the actress Dorinda Stevens[64] on 6 March 1951 when he was 23. They lived at 9 Holland Park, Kensington.[81] They separated after three years and by November 1955, Stevens was described in a TV Times profile as "a bachelor girl, sharing a mews flat near Portland Place, London, with Cassio, her wire-haired terrier".[82] She married the Canadian cinematographer William Michael Boultbee (1933–2005) in Nairobi in 1957[83] while filming for African Patrol.

Interviewed for The Sydney Morning Herald in 1972, Wyngarde said his biggest regret was that he "married far too young", adding: "It lasted three years and the last year was pretty hell. However, one just goes on learning from one's mistakes doesn't one?"[84]

He called Vivien Leigh "the love of my life".[85] From 1956 to 1958, Wyngarde shared a flat with Ruby Talbot in London and the 2020 biography cites the electoral roll as evidence that this was a romantic relationship.[86]

In the late 1950s he moved to a flat in number 1 Earls Terrace off Kensington High Street in London. He would live there for the rest of his life. He shared that flat for some years with fellow actor Alan Bates and according to some sources this was a romantic relationship.[59][64][87] It was always assumed within the acting community that Wyngarde was gay[88] and while the nickname Petunia Winegum is often quoted[87][89] it may have originated in a comedy sketch rather than being a genuine nickname.[61]

In July 1974, Jeremy Dallas-Cope, a 23-year-old described as Wyngarde's former "male secretary and personal assistant", was found guilty at his trial at the Old Bailey and sentenced to two years' imprisonment, for forging nearly £3,000 worth of cheques from the actor's bank account. Upon the fraud scheme being discovered Dallas-Cope persuaded his flatmate Anthony O'Donoghue, a male model, "to attempt suicide and take the blame". O'Donoghue was found by police when close to death, and was sentenced to 15 months, after also being found guilty.[90]

Public attention was drawn to Wyngarde's personal life in October 1975 when he was prosecuted under his real name, Cyril Goldbert, for gross indecency with a crane driver in public toilets in Gloucester bus station.[91][92] The Evening Standard reported that Wyngarde pleaded guilty although his solicitor tried to mitigate the charge as a "mental aberration" brought on by excessive drinking. Wyngarde was convicted and fined £75.[93] It is said that Wyngarde's career never fully recovered from the publicity surrounding this prosecution.[88][94] In a undated post on Wyngarde's official website in summer 2023 it was asserted that the 1975 conviction had been "quashed" and posthumously pardoned by the Home Office as part of their initiative to disregard historical convictions for same-sex sexual activity.[95][96]

In later life, Wyngarde referred to himself as "50% vegetarian, 100% bisexual".[97]

Wyngarde told an interviewer in 1993 that at the height of his fame, "I drank myself to a standstill ... I am amazed I am still here", but said that he stopped drinking in the early 1980s.[25] He was declared bankrupt in 1982[98] and again in 1988.[99] At the time of Wyngarde's first bankruptcy, it was reported that he "was now unemployed and living on Social Security." [100]

Wyngarde and the singer Morrissey were friends.[101] Morrissey wrote in his 2013 autobiography about visiting Wyngarde at home in Earls Terrace:

[His flat is] an Edwardian warren of clerical ferocity – a tornado of books and papers and swelling pyramids of typescripts, half-finished, half-begun. His voice is still of great clarity and sound, his eyes unchanged since that period known as his prime. But he is no longer on stage or television. Film generally tells us that people of Peter’s age don’t actually exist, or, if they do, they are hopelessly infirm and in the way of the main storyline. He sits before me as one who knew his duty and did it, beyond all praise, alive in the cinema of the mind.[102]

Fandom and biographies

Peter Wyngarde had an active fan club from the mid-1950s to 1985.[103] An appreciation society called The Hellfire Club was founded in 1992 with the actor's support,[104] with members receiving its quarterly magazine by post.[105] It went online in 2000,[104] and maintains a regularly updated blog.[106]

A career biography of the actor was published in 2012 by the organiser of the Six of One, the appreciation society of The Prisoner TV series.[107][108] It was reissued in 2019.

The organiser of The Hellfire Club took Wyngarde's surname after his death[109] and in 2020 she published a biography which claimed to draw on personal knowledge of the subject.[110]

Death and legacy

His agent and manager reported that Wyngarde was admitted to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London in October 2017 with an unspecified illness.[111] He died on 15 January 2018.[2][4][112]

Tina Wyngarde-Hopkins's 2020 biography of Wyngarde and its accompanying website detail some disputes and conflict between the author and Wyngarde's executors and next of kin over his estate and the location of his remains.[40]

An auction of 250 items from his estate took place on 26 March 2020.[113] All items sold, and the auction fetched over £35,000.[114] His trophy for "best dressed personality of 1970" reached the highest selling price with a winning bid of £2,200.[10]

Mike Myers credited Wyngarde with inspiring the character Austin Powers.[61]

Notes

  1. ^ Immigration records from his arrival in the UK in 1945 indicate he was 18 years old at the time, with a birth year of 1927, and Wyngarde was first listed on the UK electoral roll in 1948 which also confirms 1927 as his year of birth, as only those aged 21 and over were included on the electoral roll at that time.[13][14] His 2018 death registration also gives 1927 as his year of birth, and his age as 90[11] and most reports of his death and obituaries in 2018 gave those facts. Other sources are less reliable. For example, in January 1950 the Essex Newsman-Herald said Wyngarde was 25, suggesting a birth year of 1924 or 1925. J. G. Ballard writes in his autobiography Miracles of Life that Cyril Goldbert, "the future Peter Wyngarde ... was four years older than me..."[15] As Ballard was born in November 1930, this would indicate, presuming Ballard's accuracy, that Cyril Goldbert was born in or around 1926. Records compiled in Shanghai in 1943 say Cyril Goldbert was born in 1928.[16][5][8] The passenger list for a 1960 trip to the US, landing cards for two separate trips that year, and presumably his passport at that time all say he was born in 1929.[17][18] A Straits Times article in September 1956 gave his age as 26, suggesting a 1930 birthdate.[19] The web site of his appreciation society has stated three different birth dates: originally it was 23 August 1933,[20] and this was the date used by BAFTA in the obituary at its 2018 awards.[21] After his death the birth year was amended to 28 August 1937, citing a Jersey passport,[22][23] then in April 2019 it was amended again to 28 August 1928.[24]
