Larry Grayson , born William Sulley White,
was an English comedian and television presenter who was best known in
the 1970s and early '80s. He is best remembered for hosting the BBC's
popular series The Generation Game and for his high camp and English music hall humour.
His camp stand-up act consisted mainly of anecdotes about a cast
of imaginary friends; the most frequently mentioned were Everard and
Slack Alice. He is often cited as one of the first gay entertainers to
have enjoyed mass appeal, although he never made any reference to his
sexuality. He was devoted to his adopted home town of Nuneaton, where a museum display relating to his life and work and a memorial have been established.
He died on this day in 1995 aged 71.
