Anthony Steel

His roles grew smaller and less prestigious, such as appearing as Sir Stephen in the Just Jaeckin film adaptation of Story of O (1975).

By the 1970s he had returned to England where he appeared in number of TV shows such as Bergerac, The Professionals, and Robin of Sherwood and Crossroads. After doing stage tours in the 1980s he rarely worked, and wound up living for a number of years in a tiny flat in Northolt, west London. His then-agent, David Daly, said that:

He was a very private man. He just decided that he would withdraw. He found a place to live and simply went into hiding. In some ways, it was not unlike him; if he decided that things weren't right, he would withdraw into himself and not contact anybody.

Daly had him moved to Denville Hall, a London retirement home for theatre people, and got him a guest role on the TV series The Broker's Man, not long before he died. Read Less
