Cinema Retro has been requested to post the the following letter from a relative of actor Ken Clark. If anyone can help locate him, please write to Tim at the E mail address in his letter.(For Dean Brierly's tribute to Ken Clark's Euro spy movies of the 60s click here)
Ken Clark, star of such cult classics as "Attack of the Giant Leeches"
and "12 To the Moon" as well as over a dozen EuroSpy movies in the
1960s is my great uncle.
Â
He is also subject of a family mystery.
Â
When
his movie career in the States seemed destined to fail, and all he was
being offered was TV roles, he left the US to go to Europe. His career
there is well-documented. However, when he left, he also broke contact
with his entire family.... wife, kids, parents, sisters, everyone.
Â
His
sister is now 81 and in failing health. I am trying to track down Ken
Clark to see if, after all this time, he has any interest at all in
talking to his sister once again. Even if he wanted to, there would be
almost no way for him to find her. He never knew her married name, and
she moved from their home in Ohio to Rhode Island decades ago.Â
Â
I
have tried SAG but they want his SAG membership number in order to give
me any information. Obviously, I do not have that.  If anyone has any
means of learning his whereabouts or has any source I might contact to
try and find him I would be most appreciative. Feel free to email me
directly, or to contact me through the web site.
Â
Thank you,
Â
