Default Ronnie Raymond - actor Murder She Said
Hello. Do you know ANYTHING about 1960's child-actor, Ronnie Raymond? ( see photo HERE )
` I would like to either interview, speak to, or otherwise communicate with, Actor Ronnie Raymond about his experience as a child actor during the early 1960s.
` Does anyone know his whereabouts ( UK? USA? Aus? ??? ), or what he is doing now, or who his Agent might be, or how to find him ?
` Did he change his name ? Did he change his profession ? Is he now a Teacher, a Salesman, a Gardener ? ? ?

` Clearly, he is not very apparent on the web, at least under the name Ronnie Raymond.

` SURELY SOMEONE LOOKING AT THIS MUST KNOW SOMETHING !! ?

` Please help if you can. Any info' or advice gratefully received !!

Thankyou.
Ady.
ps. References I've found to him include :
"Clown Jewels", a Revue. Comedy scenes by Bud Flanagan & the Crazy Gang.RONNIE RAYMOND joins BUD to sing.Victoria Palace Theatre, London - 5 March, 1959.
"Leave It To Pastry",UK 1960, BBC, Children's sitcom.
"Murder She Said" 1961 film.Ronnie plays Alexander Eastley in this first-in-series of Margaret Rutherford's MissMarple films.
"The Big Pull" BBC TV-Series June 1962

Hopefully - Ady.

Hi, Ady - Can't through any light on Ronnie Raymond, but he also dubbed the voice of the lead child in the "Village of the Damned". Hope he's still with us. He must be in his his 60's by now. Have you tried British Actors Equity?

Hi Jack - yes I've tried Equity - they have no trace of him today. I have a potential link to someone with same name ( RR ) through someone in America , but nothing has come of it yet.

You say:- "he also dubbed the voice of the lead child in the "Village of the Damned".
How do you know he did Vil.o.t.Damned; where did you get that information from ? ( I realise the voice sounds the same, but that's not to say it's Ronnie )

(His voice, if it is his voice, in 'Murder She Said', sounds as if it's (all) been re dubbed for some reason) ( ? )

I guess he'll be about 58 now, assuming him to be about 14ish when he played 'Alexander' (my avatar photo) in Murder She Said 1961.
See here for Marple Link

Hi Ady - I'm only guessing about Vil.o.t.Damned, but his voice (if it is his voice!) is so distinctive. Have a look again at the film and you'll pick it up. You're right about Murder She Said. I looked at it again yesterday and I'm pretty sure Ronnie's part has been dubbed - another puzzle to investigate!

By for now
Jack

I've spoken to Ronnie today and his brief reply to some of your queries was:

Quote:
My mother was a variety artiste, so i followed in her shoes from an early age, i went to Aida Foster Theatrical School and did many things, Radio, Stage, T V, & Film. I auditioned for the part of Alexander, I never stopped working from the age of 12 up to 16 when i quit due to no work coming in, in hindsight now what a mistake.
I'll PM you later Ady re: contact details.

Great to hear about your contact with Ronnie, DB7. If you get further info Ady, can you let me know. Would be really interested in hearing about his experience working with Margaret. Thanks.

Good news! I have now been in contact with Ronnie Raymond and he is happy to answer questions from Forum members about his film work in the the 60s, time permitting, of course. Send me a PM and I will forward to Ronnie and collate the responses.

All best

Hi, Lise - Thanks for the posting. I've been away for several weeks, hence the delay in replying. I've also had problems with Ronnie's current email address. I'll send an email to him tomorrow and will hopefully get some answers for you soon!

All best

Jack

I just watched Murder She Said yesterday and totally went mad on little Ronnie! What a star - he felt out of his time, like he might fit more in comedy now than then. Or even the current run of Doctor Who; he was like a little Time Lord, so smart and funny.
I'd love to get in touch with him if that's possible.
I must say hello to everyone on this site by the way - this is my first post, and I must say the site looks excellent.
(Oh, and that Marple film was wonderful by the way!) :)
