Where did you find that out? This connection isn't mentioned in any
of my numerous reference books, and I'm sure it would have been made
in at least one of them if it were true.

Apart from the Brian Rix relationship, I have authoritative written
material to back up all the above - but I have absolutely nothing to
say that Michael and Susannah York are related.


Michael York was born on Mar 27 1942, in Fulmer, England

Susannah York was born on Jan 9 1941 in London and grew up in a remote
Scottish village.


Did Susannah York's parents move to Fulmer in order to have Michael
and then callously abandon him? Was one of them adopted? Or are they
really completely unrelated?

I tend to think it's the latter, but if anyone out there has
documentary evidence, do let us know.

I've just looked Fulmer up in my road atlas - it's approx 4-5 miles
(as the crow flies) due north of Slough. I suspect that in 1942
Mr & Mrs York felt that it would be safer outside rather than IN London!!
Perhaps Mr York was in the forces & Mrs York & Susannah were
staying with Grandma!!!! - therefore Michael born in Fulmer, Bucks!

There is no reference to a film of that title in Michael York's
filmography, and I can't find any reference to the film anywhere in
my extensive film reference library.

And furthermore, Susannah York's real name is Susannah Fletcher.
Michael York's real name is Michael York. The two are not related,
unless anyone out there's got a REALLY convincing explanation...

"For Those I Loved" was shot in English and French by a Spanish
director in the province of Quebec in 1979, and is available in its
French cut as "Au Nom De Tous Les Miennes". Filmographies, like
dictionaries, need research form the reader too, you know.

I'm not going to give up on this one - I KNOW I'm right!!

Perhaps Michael & Susannah have different fathers.
Perhaps Susannah was born before her parents were married.
You didn't say where Michael grew up JUST where he was BORN!!!!

Stand by for more argument (oops! discussion) when libraries etc
open tomorrow!!!!!

OK, I HAVE now found a film of that (French) title, and concede it
exists and that Michael York is in it...

... but you haven't answered the second part of my question - if
Michael York and Susannah 'York' are related, how come she's got a
different surname and grew up in a completely different part of the
country?

I have not the slightest idea, I must say. Maybe he is a chronic
prevaricator. Or maybe I am. Or maybe we're both a bit confused. As
Anthony Burgess said on his TV "Cities" episode, this one on Rome,
`It's all an illusion anyway, isn't it?'
