Maxwell Reed was a well known (in his day) actor, who was married to Joan Collins from 1952-56. He allegedly tried to sell her to an Arab sheik for £10,000, just seven months after their wedding, which may have contributed to their divorce - maybe he just wanted the money to pay for a new Healey. He was apparently a 'matinee idol' in the 50s and was in a number of films and TV shows from 1946 to 1968 including bit parts in Bonanza and Perry Mason. As far as we know, we have no record of the car, so if you have any information, please contact the webmaster. Here is the interview with him that was published in a 1950 edition of a book called 'Preview'. The full article is below - it's a long way from what we would expect these days about a star and his car, but is probably representative of how things were in 1950. Thanks to Denis Meagher for sending the information. |
