A 6x4 card signed in person October 29th 2002 at The Lyric Theatre, London, by Derren Nesbitt, the English actor perhaps best known for his role as Major von Hapen in Where Eagles Dare (1968). Nesbitt's television appearances began in the 1950s, playing numerous different roles in series such as The Adventures of Sir Lancelot and The Adventures of William Tell. He went on to play the villain in a number of well known TV series of the 60s and 70s, including Danger Man, The Saint, Doctor Who, The Prisoner, Gideon's Way, Man in a Suitcase, UFO and The Persuaders!. In 1969 he took on the role of DCI Jordan in the police drama Special Branch. His movie credits include roles such as a predatory blackmailer of gay men in Victim (1961), a murderous pimp in The Informers (1963), a slimy assassin in Nobody Runs Forever, the suspicious Gestapo officer in Where Eagles Dare (1968) and a murderous grave-robber in Burke and Hare (1972). Nesbitt wrote, produced and directed The Amorous Milkman, a 1975 British sex comedy film starring Julie Ege, Diana Dors and Brendan Price. It was based on his 1973 novel of the same name. In 1961, he married his first wife, the actress Anne Aubrey, and they had a daughter the next year. On 25 January 1973, he was fined £250 when he pleaded guilty to two charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm in October the previous year. He attacked her with a leather strap after she told him that she was having an affair with another man. He also bruised her by grabbing her clothing the next day when she refused to tell him details about her lover. She divorced him a few months later.
