Sad news that he was taken by this awful virus. .John Richardson was a sensational looking guy who made his mark at Hammer in the 60's.
He & Ursula Andress looked the perfect couple in "She".
I always had the impression that the oft dubbed actor was held back somewhat by his rather soft, light voice.
R.I.P!

He had an early uncredited role as a valet in a horse drawn carriage in A Night to Remember in 1958.

I bet this would be an interesting read.

It took me a long time to realise it, but John's voice in She was provided by David Spenser.

....& in "The Vengeance of She" he was dubbed by the more recognisable but totally unsuitable (imo) voice of David de Keyser!
It must have been so frustrating for Richardson having to be dubbed so much.
