Note

Siwan (1960), Becket (1964), Goodbye, Mr Chips (1969), Murphy's War (1970-1) and Under Milk Wood (1972) also starred Siân Phillips' second husband, Peter O'Toole.

Goodbye, Mr Chips (1969): The 'Arthur' whose signature appears on the telegram is most probably Arthur P. Jacobs, the film's producer.
