Peter Wyngarde - Biography

Peter Paul Wyngarde is an actor best known for playing the character Jason King, a bestselling novelist turned sleuth, in two British television series: Department S (1969–70) and Jason King (1971–72).Peter Wyngarde's date and place of birth, his birth name, and his parent's nationalities and occupations are all disputed.
Wyngarde said he had been married to the actress Dorinda Stevens for several years in the 1950s, and a Dorinda and Peter Wyngarde are shown living together on the 1953 electoral roll for Holland Park. From 1956 to 1958 he was living with Ruby Talbot in London. In the 1960s, he shared a flat with fellow actor Alan Bates; according to some sources this was a sexual relationship. It was well known within the acting community that Wyngarde was gay – reputedly he acquired the nickname Petunia Winegum, though this was disputed by others who said that the name had merely been invented for a comedy sketch.

Public attention was drawn to his behaviour in September 1975 when he was fined £75 (under his probable real name, Cyril Louis Goldbert) for gross indecency with a crane driver in public toilets in Gloucester bus station. This followed an arrest and caution for similar acts in the toilets at Kennedy Gardens in Birmingham the previous year.
Wyngarde was an alcoholic at the height of his career, telling an interviewer in 1993 "I drank myself to a standstill ... I am amazed I am still here", but that he stopped drinking in the early 1980s.[18] After regular acting work dried up in the 1980s, he was declared bankrupt and was reported as living on social security benefits.
His agent and manager reported that Wyngarde was admitted to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London in October 2017 with an unspecified illness. He died on 15 January 2018.
A Peter Wyngarde appreciation society, The Hellfire Club, was founded in 1992 with Wyngarde's support, with members receiving its quarterly magazine by post. It went online in 2000, and maintains a regularly updated blog and Facebook page.
