Open Channel D: The Man From UNCLE Affair

WHAT BOOK would Linwood Barclay take to a desert island? By DAILY MAIL REPORTER PUBLISHED: 22:00 GMT, 27 February 2020 |  UPDATED: 22:00 GMT, 27 February 2020 WHAT BOOK…first gave you the reading bug?

Joyce Audrey Botterill (27 April 1939 – 3 September 2015), known professionally as Judy Carne , was an English actress best remembered for the phrase "Sock it to me!" on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In . She received training at the Pitt-Draffen Academy of Dance, before being accepted into the prestigious Bush-Davis Theatrical School for Girls in East Grinstead near London.

Despite training to be a doctor, Ruggles soon found himself on the stage, appearing in a stock production of Nathan Hale in 1905. At Los Angeles's Majestic Theatre, he played Private Jo Files in L. Frank Baum and Louis F. Gottschalk's musical The Tik-Tok Man of Oz in 1913. From 1929, Ruggles appeared in talking pictures. His first was Gentleman of the Press in which he played a comic, alcoholic newspaper reporter. Throughout the 1930s, he was teamed with comic actress Mary Boland in a string of domestic farces, notably If I Had a Million, Six of a Kind, Ruggles of Red Gap, and People Will Talk
