Thanks, Dave. I would have gone to bed wondering and probably woken at 2 in the morning still wondering. I remembered it was Pratt as soon as I saw your message. Susan

Boris Karloffs real name was Willam Henry Pratt Davex

My father-in-law always told us that Boris Karloff (can't remember his real name) went to his school. Dad often romanced a little, so we thought, but having proved his stories true through research I am inclined to believe this story. Susan

Jackie Trent - her claim to fame is that she co-wrote the Neighbours theme music!
