terry-thomas

Terry-Thomas (Thomas Terence Hoar-Stephens) (14 July 1911 - 8 January 1990) was a distinctive British comic actor of the 1950s and 1960s. He was famous for his trademark gap in his front teeth, cigarette holder, dressing gown, and such catch-phrases as, "Ding-dong!" and, "You're an absolute shower!", as he played a variety of exuberant, malevolent and silly characters during the 1960's. Something of a cultural icon to subsequent generations of dapper, dandy, well-groomed, gentlemen-about-town, he was particularly famous for his portrayal of the archetypal cad, bounder, and absolute rotter. In 1971 he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and by 1977 he had retired.
