Denis Goodwin - Biography
Denis Goodwin (19 July 1929 – 26 February 1975) was a radio and television comedy scriptwriter and actor, best known for his writing partnership with Bob Monkhouse, with whom he also compèred the Smash Hits programme on Radio Luxembourg.
Goodwin and Monkhouse wrote scripts for comedians such as Derek Roy, Ted Ray and Arthur Askey. Eventually they were given their own television series, Fast and Loose (1954), which they co-wrote and in which they both appeared. However, Goodwin lacked Monkhouse's talent for improvisation and was less assured as a performer.
He was married twice: his first marriage was to Barbara (1956) with whom they had two children — Jeremy (1958) and Suki (1960). They divorced in 1967 and in 1971 he married Jane Cappleman.
In 1975, Goodwin committed suicide by means of an overdose of sleeping tablets, aged 45.
