Hello
Ms Jones
Leonard
Rossiter (21/10/1926 - 5/10/1984) was a distinguished actor, best known for
his comedy roles in two TV series of the 1970s.
He
played the lead role in The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin on the
BBC, but it was his role as the seedy, lecherous landlord Rigsby in ITV's Rising
Damp that he is most fondly remembered. Ms Jones was never far
from his thoughts.
As well as TV,
film and theatre roles, Rossiter also appeared in one of the most successful
TV ad campaigns. He starred alongside Joan Collins as
her bumbling suitor in a series of successful and endearing commercials for
Cinzano, in which somehow the drink would be spilled down the Joan Collins'
character's dress.
He died suddenly
at the age of 58.
